Outkast’s Andre 3000 (Andre Benjamin) will cover songs by the Beatles, Muddy Waters and more for the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic – All Is By My Side – currently shooting in Ireland.
The film’s producers told Rolling Stone that no original Hendrix music will be included in the film because it is set in 1966 and 1967, before the release of his debut album, Are You Experienced.
Instead, Andre 3000, who is playing Hendrix, will cover songs the musician played before his debut.
According to Rolling Stone:
Audiences will see Benjamin singing ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ (which Hendrix famously performed in a London club with members of the Beatles in the audience), ‘Wild Thing,’ ‘Hound Dog,’ Muddy Waters,’ ‘Mannish Boy’ and Elmore James’ ‘Bleeding Heart,’ plus two songs, ‘Future Trip’ and ‘Driving South,’ that Hendrix played as a backup musician for Curtis Knight and the Squires.
All Is By My Side is tentatively schedule for release next year.
