Marketwired
Lyric Culture (PINKSHEETS: LYJN), the music inspired lifestyle
brand driven by the lyrics of legendary musical artists, has
announced the launch of its new Jimi Hendrix men's collection,
exclusively at Bloomingdale's nationwide. With input from
Experience Hendrix, LLC, the family-owned company whose mission is
to preserve and protect the musical legacy of Jimi Hendrix, Lyric
Culture created exclusive designs featuring the lyrics to Jimi
Hendrix's most celebrated songs along with imagery of the music
legend, named the Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by Rolling
Stone. The collection of graphic screen print tees, scarves, men's
dress shirts, hoodies and cuff links (retail $48-$98) will hit the
floor at Bloomingdale's stores in early November coinciding with
what would have been Hendrix's 70th birthday this month.
An interactive kiosk on loan from Seattle's Experience Music
Project permanent Jimi Hendrix exhibit, will offer viewers in the
landmark Manhattan store an opportunity to see the source of Jimi's
handwritten lyrics, the inspiration behind the Lyric Culture's
Hendrix collection.
Bloomingdale's 59th Street, as well as all other Bloomindales
locations, nationwide, will also offer original Jimi Hendrix
recordings that have been released by Experience Hendrix through
its partnership with Sony's Legacy division. Titles include Valleys
of Neptune, Axis: Bold As Love, Are You Experienced, Electric
Ladyland, and many others in CD and LP formats.
In conjunction with Lyric Culture's 'shop in shop' launch at
Bloomingdale's Manhattan flagship on 59th Street, Janie Hendrix,
CEO of Experience Hendrix LLC and sister of Jim Hendrix, will be
signing copies of Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyric
Book, just published by Backbeat Books on Thursday, November 8
from 6 to 8 PM. The book, which Janie compiled, contains the words
to all the Hendrix classics fans have rocked along to for years as
well as unpublished songs from previously undiscovered sources.
This personal collection includes numerous examples of Jimi's
lyrics, and photos -- many never before published -- accompany
every song. Music Radar called Jimi Hendrix: The
Ultimate Lyric Book "a fascinating visual examination..." The
combination of the Lyric Culture collection, the original Hendrix
music catalog and the Ultimate Lyric Book represents a first in
terms of aggregating such a vast array of Hendrix-branded products
under one roof.
An appearance by Billy Cox, the bassist who worked with Jimi
Hendrix in concert and in the studio as part of both Jimi Hendrix
Band of Gypsys and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, will be a highlight
of the November 8 session. Billy Cox met Jimi Hendrix when both
were serving the US Army and became fast friends thereafter,
playing the southern 'chitlin' circuit' together before Hendrix
departed for England on the road to stardom. Billy will be joined
by guitarist Eric Gales who, along with Buddy Guy, Jonny Lang,
Dweezil Zappa, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Cox, has performed for
audiences nationwide as part of the annual Experience Hendrix
tribute concert tour. Gales, like Hendrix before him, is a
blues-based guitarist who is left-handed and plays his instrument
upside down.
Janie Hendrix commented, "We're delighted to partner with Lyric
Culture to launch this line of Jimi Hendrix apparel and jewelry.
Jimi's words, music and handwriting have been cherished by so many
for so long and this underscores how resonant his art has been all
this while and, certainly into the future."
"We are honored to celebrate the 70th birthday of Jimi Hendrix
with a new Lyric Culture men's fashion collection inspired by the
fearless and innovative lyrics of one of rock music's most
influential artists," said Hanna Rochelle, founder of Lyric
Culture. "His legendary style and iconic music is integrated into
every design. Some pieces even include Jimi's actual handwritten
lyrics incorporated into the fabric prints," she continued.
Following his appearing at the Bloomingdale's Lyric Culture
launch, Billy Cox will remain in New York to perform at iridium
Jazz Club on Saturday and Sunday, November 10 and 11 with two shows
per night. Billed as Billy Cox Band of Gypsys, he'll be joined by
Eric Gales, Andy Aledort and Billy Idol Band veteran Steve Stevens.
