Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2022
The book moves year-by-year through Jimi's short life. The text is rather sparse, but the images are many--including posters from Hendrix concerts and many photos, some I had not seen in my many years of collecting books about the man. It is more of a report on his life and music than an interpretation of Jimi's significance for culture. It does not address his mystical-Gnostic-voodoo worldview, which was no small part of his appeal. Nor does it take seriously the controversy over why he was released from the military, which was taken up carefully in Cross's book, "Room Full of Mirrors" (2006). Jimi's story that he was injured as a paratrooper and released because of this is questionable, even if commonly assumed.
Jimi once said his religion was music, and his music was sometimes sublime. But music, even the music of the spheres, is a poor substitute for true religion, something Jimi could not provide for us.
