Summary:
Jimi Hendrix's explosion onto the rock and roll scene is one of the
most remarkable legends in music history. Fusing blues, jazz, and
outrageous psychdelia, Hendrix scored multitudes of devoted fans with
his frenzied, irreverent guitar playing, singing, and song-writing.
And at the age of twenty-seven, when his private nightmares caught up
with his dreams, he died in a torrent of drugs and alcohol. More than
a decade after his death, Hendrix is still considered by millions to
be the greatest guitarist in rock and roll history. Now, David
Henderson has captured the essence of Hendrix's intense, apocalyptic,
and ultimately tragic life in this brilliantly researched, deeply
honest and totally moving biography. Here is Hendrix, the REAL
Hendrix--his boyhood in Seattle, his years in a crack U.S. paratroop
regiment, his growing reputation as the best sideman in the business,
his manic trip through superstardom, the songs, the concerts, the
flaming guitars, the acid, the booze, and, most important, the
incomparable legacy he left behind.
