Jimi Hendrix was very probably the greatest solo rock artist of all time. More than Dylan, Bowie, Prince or any of his guitar contemporaries such as Eric Clapton, he was the supreme physical and musical emblem of rock music. If anyone personified the genre in its most pure, potent and inflammatory form, it was Hendrix.
Although he was an immense guitarist, Hendrix also connected with audiences as a performer and a songwriter. Songs like 'Voodoo Chile' and 'Third Stone From The Sun' were the brilliant products of dazed but expanded consciousness. This is the definitive companion to Hendrix's recorded output.
