''Midnight Lightning'' was a posthumous album by Jimi Hendrix released in November 1975 by Reprise Records . It was the second Hendrix album by producer Alan Douglas for Reprise Records who "created" new Jimi Hendrix material. As he had done in Crash Landing , Douglas created the new material by reviewing hundreds of hours of old Hendrix tapes from the vaults of Reprise Records . Douglas took unfinished songs and completed them using studio musicians to overdub Hendrix' original tapes. In response to the outcry from fans and critics, Alan Douglas did not claim co-writer credit for the Hendrix material on Midnight Lightning as he had on Crash Landing . The album was not as well received as Crash Landing and peaked at number 43 on Billboard's album chart. It was a dramatic fall from Crash Landing which peaked at number 5. Fans and critics complained that the "new" songs were inferior and did not possess the famous Hendrix sound. Reprise Records shelved plans for Alan Douglas to produce a third Hendrix album of "new" material. TRACK LISTING
