Synopsis
The young Jimmy Hendrix was an Elvis Presley fan, worked a paper route, and obtained his first guitar for five dollars. A mere decade and a subtle name change later, he was to spearhead the 1960s rock revolution and become the icon for a generation. Harry Shapiro's in-depth study of the guitarist's life and times takes us on an atmospheric journey through Hendrix's Seattle childhood, his brief career in the Army, his musical apprenticeship in various R&B bands, and his discovery by Chas Chandler and Mike Jeffery and subsequent rise to international stardom. With a wealth of background detail (including a complete discography and an exhaustive rundown of the guitarist's equipment that's a treasure trove of information for music aficionados), and interviews with most of the surviving key figures in Hendrix's career, ELECTRIC GYPSY is a masterly biography of a musician whose death ensured his near-mythical status as a symbol of rock rebellion and innovation.
