Vida y muerte de Jimi Hendrix

Traveling through the purple haze of sixties idealism and paranoia, Jimi Hendrix was the man who made Eric Clapton consider quitting, to whom Bob Dylan bowed in his song "All Along the Watchtower," who forced Miles Davis to rethink his conventional style, and whose "Star Spangled Banner" marked Woodstock. And when his star, which shone so brightly, was so prematurely extinguished, his legend lived on in the music and mystery surrounding his death. Breaking with the traditional format of rock biographies, "Life and Death of Jimi Hendrix" is a fittingly psychedelic and kaleidoscopic exploration of his life and death, and a journey to the dark heart of the 1960s. As the groupies queued, the drugs grew harder and harder and the sixties dream burned with the fire and blood of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King, and the election of President Richard Nixon. Acclaimed writer Mick Wall, author of "Led Zeppelin: When Giants Walked the Earth", has used his interviews and exhaustive research to make the inimitable and romantic account of this story, the definitive portrait of the "God of the Guitar "before whose altar other kings of the guitar go to pray. The story of Jimi Hendrix has been told many times, but never like this.
