Jimi Hendrix

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are fascinating behind-the-scenes contributions from the scene makers and musicians of the time, including previously unpublished excerpts from interviews with the recording, producing, and engineering principals from throughout Jimi's career--including Jimi's sister Janie; Hendrix's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.
