Jimi Hendrix – Electric Gypsy, Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebbeek

Interest in Jimi Hendrix is now greater than at any time since his tragic and untimely death in 1970. Electric Gypsy is the most detailed account yet published of the life, death and legacy of the genius who revolutionised the playing of the electric guitar. The unrivalled archives of the Hendrix Information Centre have been opened for this major biography. Cutting through the myths that inevitably surround Hendrix, the authors have found the person within the legend. They have amassed tapes, photos, letters, lyrics and poems, obtained interviews with friends, family and fellow musicians, and returned to his troubled childhood to tell the full, explosive story. Paperback, 698 pages.
