Purple Haze

Audiobook

In his brief time on earth, James Marshall Hendrix would continue to amaze, redefine and reinvent how musicians played the guitar and how songwriters sonically visualized what could be done with rock and roll. Hendrix was as multifaceted and brilliant as the jewels that sometimes adorned his colorful costumes. He was a peacenik who was once a paratrooper in Vietnam, a spiritual mystic who also was an excessive drug user, and a great student of his instrument who at times grew restless with his own magical gift. Jimi Hendrix was only 27 when he died in 1970 yet, as this riveting and comprehensive documentary reveals, he lived several lives in his brief comet-like existence. This is the inside story told by Jimi himself, his family, the women he loved, the fellow musicians who played and stood in awe of him, and, of course, it's also the story of an amazing cultural decade and the music that helped shape it.
