Wolfmother record Jimi Hendrix songs for B-sides

Wolfmother’s new album Cosmic Egg is set to hit stores on October 13th and the songs are expected to be pretty massive. But what may be even bigger than the album cuts are the b-sides since they’re all covers of Jimi Hendrix songs.
Gigwise reports that Wolfmother went to Electric Lady studios in New York City to record B-sides for the new record. Lead singer Andrew Stockdale talked about what happened to the band once they got there. “We went into Electric Lady and for some reason as soon as I got in there I was like, Forget about playing the b-sides, lets just do Hendrix songs,” Stockdale said. “And we just played like eight Hendrix songs and just jammed.”
The band would record eight Hendrix songs including “If 6 was 9″. But they also managed to record acoustic versions of their songs “Back Round” and “Sundial” which will appear on Cosmic Egg in full band form.
