The first truly definitive biography of a rock and roll legend, impeccably researched and written by the outstanding author of 'Heavier Then Heaven', the story of Kurt Cobain.
Jimi Hendrix continues to intrigue, and sell huge quantities of albums, even 35 years after his death. Quite apart from his influence on musicians and fans, a large part of the appeal of Hendrix's sensational life story lies in a fascination for the values of the sixties - values he came to stand for. Based on over 300 interviews, personal letters, diaries, unreleased songs and artwork discovered during this project, 'Room Full Of Mirrors' contains many never-before-disclosed details about Jimi's youth gleaned from interviews with family members, teachers, neighbours and friends along with recently discovered welfare documents and court records. The sixties still exert a massive pull over pop culture and this is a book for anyone interested, not only in Hendrix, but in anything to do with pop culture over the last 40 years.
