Song for Jimi: The Story of Guitar Legend Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix's talent was epic, and so is this lyrical account of his life, with spectacular artwork by Edel Rodriguez—including a poster underneath the jacket!
From his turbulent childhood through his epic appearance at the Monterey and Woodstock festivals, Charles R. Smith Jr. covers it all in this rich and rhythmic account of a singular life, accompanied by the psychedelic splendor of Edel Rodriguez's acid-tinged artwork.
Let me tell you a story,
a story 'bout a boy,
who became a man,
a git-tar man,
named Jimi.
Written as a series of verses beginning with intro and ending with outro, this unique mix of rhythm and rhyme captures the essence of rock icon Jimi Hendrix and his struggle to live life on his own terms.
Backmatter, including a select discography, timeline of Hendrix's life, and a personal essay from the author, is included.
