Album:
Legendary King's X front-man Dug Pinnick will release Tribute to Jimi (Often Imitated but Never Duplicated) a special limited print tribute album to the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Tribute to Jimi was recorded at Blacksound Studios, Pasadena, CA and was co-produced by Dug Pinnick and Michael Parnin and mastered by Kurdt Vanderhoof of Metal Church. About the release Dug states, "I've been wanting to do this for a long time, so when the idea was brought up to me, I couldn't wait to get started! We wanted to recreate the analog recording process as closely to the original recordings as possible, so we did our research and tried to use as many of the original effects and equipment that we could find. I'm very happy with how this turned out and I hope everyone enjoys listening to this music as much as I enjoyed recording it in memory of Jimi Hendrix!"
