Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child cover

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are fascinating behind-the-scenes contributions from the scene makers and musicians of the time, including previously unpublished excerpts from interviews with the recording, producing, and engineering principals from throughout Jimi's career--including Jimi's sister Janie; Hendrix's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

"Here is a Jimi Hendrix book that dares to do what the others don't: treat him like a human being. Instead of rehashing the usual claptrap folklore, Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child delivers a portrait of the actual 3D person like we've never seen before. From the deep exploration of his musical evolution to the cast of characters who knew him well to the vivid portrayal of the world he moved in, this is a book that lets you meet the real Jimi once and for all, and it's mindblowing. In these pages, Jimi fans will discover that truth is stranger, more beautiful, and more soulful than mythology." —Daniel Weizmann—music historian and journalist
