Review

"The facts about the greatest guitarist of all time--a classic Hendrix book."

First line

Having arrived in London with Hendrix in tow, Chandler immediately set out to establish him as "an item."

Publisher's note

Traces the life and career of the influential rock guitarist using interviews with fellow musicians, and discusses the posthumous releases of his work.

Annotation

Long enshrined as a rock & roll icon, Jimi Hendrix is often seen as a man who lived his life on the edge, unbound by society's conventions. But writer John McDermott and his co-author, Hendrix's producer Eddie Kramer's authoritative portrayal of the artist as an ambitious professional preoccupied with his musical vision is perhaps closer to reality. In the excellent HENDRIX: SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT, McDermott and Kramer pick up the Hendrix story where it matters---his first mid-1960s foray into the British rock scene, taking the London musical cognoscenti by storm and outperforming a bemused Eric Clapton at one of Cream's debut gigs. The inclusion of a plethora of small but noteworthy background details conveys the casual yet artistically explosive atmosphere of the times--drummer Mitch Mitchell's membership in the Jimi Hendrix Experience is decided on the toss of a coin. Hendrix manager Chas Chandler and many of the artist's musicians and closest associates recall the first reactions to Hendrix's music and the recording of seminal albums like ARE YOU EXPERIENCED and ELECTRIC LADYLAND, vividly depicting the artist's final burn-out--and the subsequent pillaging of his music and reputation--in poignant detail.
