A unique tribute to Jimi Hendrix on the 50th anniversary of his
untimely death, featuring contributions by those who knew and
worked with him, enhanced with images by the most renowned rock
photographers of the era. In September 1970, the legendary Jimi
Hendrix died at only 27 years of age. On the 50th anniversary of
this tragic event, acclaimed rock journalists Harvey Kubernik and
his brother Kenneth celebrate Hendrix, his music, and his legacy.
They have created a multi-voice narrative that weaves together
Hendrix's incredible story. There are fascinating behind-the-scenes
contributions from the scene makers and musicians of the time,
including previously unpublished excerpts from interviews with the
recording, producing, and engineering principals from throughout
Jimi's career--including Jimi's sister Janie; Hendrix's recording
engineer Eddie Kramer; and key Hendrix bassist Billy Cox--with a
focus on Hendrix's music. Along with stunning photographs and
memorabilia, Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child is the ultimate keepsake
for Hendrix fans.
Respected journalist Harvey Kubernik charts every aspect of Neil
Young's extraordinary career with the aid of exclusive interviews
conducted with fellow musicians, record producers, music
journalists, film directors and loyal fans. The period spanning
Neil Young's debut with local bands in his native Canada through to
his more recent record-breaking tours and his acclaimed 2014 album
A Letter Home covers some 50 years. It encompasses a spell with the
seminal West Coast band Buffalo Springfield, collaborations with
Crosby, Stills and Nash, and a glittering solo career which began
in the 1970s. The scale of Neil Young's achievements as a
singer-songwriter and his longevity as an artist have given him a
status and an influence that helped shape the history of popular
music. Among those featured in this book are musicians Graham Nash,
Nils Lofgren and Richie Furay, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, photographer
Henry Diltz, producers Jack Nitzsche and the late Kim Fowley, and
many, many more. Along with a retrospective commentary on every
studio and live album, this is the ultimate tribute to one of rock
music's true giants.
