Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix Review
Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix Overview
For most people, the name Jimi Hendrix conjures up a larger-than-life image of the man who set fire to guitars, women�s hearts, and the status quo. In this groundbreaking new account of Hendrix�s life, music journalist Charles R. Cross takes a far deeper look. Beyond his legendary onstage and offstage magnetism and his excessive lifestyle, Room Full of Mirrors captures the whole man�a man who struggled to accept his role as an idol and who privately craved the kind of normal family life he never had.
Based on more than three hundred interviews and never-before-seen private documents, this book recounts the entire arc of Hendrix�s life: from his troubled childhood and struggles with racial prejudice as a young musician, to his rapid ascent in swinging London, to headlining Woodstock in 1969, with his death a year later. As colorful and large as the decade of the sixties, this page-turning biography gives the real Jimi Hendrix the immortality he deserves.
