Synopsis

Hendrix on Hendrix includes the most important interviews from the peak of Jimi Hendrix's career, carefully selected by one of the world's leading Hendrix historians. In this book Hendrix recalls for reporters his heartbreaking childhood and his grueling nights on the Chitlin' Circuit. He jokes with the judge and the jury on the witness stand, telling them that the incense in his bag was for hiding bad kitchen odors. He explains to an American TV audience that his concept of ""Electric Church Music"" is intended to wash their souls and give them a new direction. And in his final interview just days before his death, he discloses that he wants to be remembered as not just another guitar player. This book is as close to a Hendrix autobiography as we will ever see.
