 | Hendrix by Eddie Kramer, John McDermott, Mark Lewisohn
Through interviews with Jimi Hendrix's friends, associates, and fellow musicians, the authors of this biography attempt to construct a realistic portrait of Hendrix and debunk the many myths that have persisted since his untimely death at the age of 28. They also examine the music industry of Hendrix's time and assert that the same record company executives who developed Hendrix's image when he was alive, discredited him after his death.
