Jimi Hendrix
James Marshall Hendrix was the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock-n-roll music. By experimenting with the electronic elements of the guitar, he created a signature style that was unmistakable, one that has not been matched since his untimely passing at age twenty-eight in 1970. Author Edward Willett examines the life and career of this legendary pioneer of contemporary music.
* Reviews *
American Rebels series. Published fall 2006. The books offer accounts of the lives of these legendary musicians, writers, and actors. Although the authors spend considerable time on the subjects' early lives and career highlights, a concluding chapter in each book helps explain their lasting appeal and fame. The pull-quotes are well chosen, but more photos would have helped break up the dense-looking text. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2007
