*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This Hendrix biography comes as a 3-Disc set, each disc covering a
portion of his life (1942-1970). You can pick it up at Wal-Mart for
around $19. The bio is rather insightful via family, friends, and
collaborators of Jimi recounting his life. It contains some film
footage of him, but most of it is photos and audio snipits. It talks
about the good and the bad of his upbringing, and the development of
his unique and spiritual personality. Follows his move from Seattle to
London to Manhattan and back to London. Sheds light into the meaning of
his lyrics, and contains a minimal amount of film and slew of pictures
of his more memorable performances. Also contains information regarding
the myths and mysteries surrounding his untimely death. All and all, a
good film for the avid Hendrix fan, classic rock music lovers, or just
to have an immense amount of Hendrix trivia in your pocket at the
office water cooler/record store. (i.e. he was friends with Bruce Lee)
