Seattle-born guitarist, songwriter and singer Jimi Hendrix soared
to the very top rank of all guitarists quickly after arriving in
London at the height of the British Blues boom. Jeff Beck and Jimmy
Page stood back in amazement while Eric Clapton, a god of the
guitar at the time was destroyed by the brilliance of this quixotic
presence and never recovered. Later, Hendrix, riding his success
back to the US saw his energy and experimentation bring accolades
from industry and audiences alike. At Woodstock his rendition of
The Star-Spangled Banner was a defiant burst of electric glamour
that reached back to the field holler of the blues, and forward to
the roots of modern rock. His drug-related death in September 1970
was a shock, but the influence of Jimi Hendrix burns ever brighter,
his reputation growing with each new generation. This new
illustrated book is a timely introduction for the 50th anniversary
of his death in September 1970. It covers his early years as a
jobbing musician, recordings, live performances and offers a
gallery of striking images.
