I looked em up on the all music guide (allmusic.com)
and found out this:
Lighnin' Rod is not the name of the band but just Jalal's alias
The record you're looking for is Doriella Du Fontaine
feat Jimi Hendrix & Lightnin Rod & Buddy Miles
says it's mixed by Material (bill laswell) with 1992 release
does that mean laswell remixed it in 1992 or did the original
mixing way back? dunno. looks good tho
