Millions wait for album release

Millions of Jimi Hendrix fans around the world eagerly await the Nov. 5th release of the album recorded at the 1968 Miami Pop Festival, and I am one of them. Yes, I'm a huge Hendrix fan, can't wait for this album and Jimi doc titled "Hear My Train a Commin" it will feature footage from Miami never seen before. I was at the festival, and photographed it, the album cover photo is one that I took. I was only 19 at the time, very young in my photography career. At the time I worked in my Fathers Palm Beach Studio, when I announced I wanted to go to Miami to photograph Jimi my Dad quipped "Who is going to buy these rock concert photos" Five years ago I licensed all of my Jimi images to Authentic Hendrix LLC, it took a long time, but this is my first album cover. The documentary will air on PBS the same day as the album release. It was recorded by Eddie Kramer, Jimi's long time engineer.

Eddie is in this photo walking behind Jimi with a camera around his neck. I have some great memories from this festival, what I didn't know was that the promoter was Michael Lang, who would later have Jimi as the closing act for Woodstock. Four of my Miami Pop Festival photos, along with the poster are in Micheal's book "The Road to Woodstock" Time is moving too slow, I want to hear this album now, and I can't wait to see the doc, but I guess I have to be patient along with the rest of Jimi's multitude of fans. Peace, Ken
