Synopsis
Published on the 35th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix’s tragic death in 1970, ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS is the definitive biography of rock n’ roll’s greatest guitarist. Meticulously researched and based on more than 200 interviews with those who knew Hendrix best—this landmark book paints the entire arc of Hendrix’s life, from his childhood in Seattle, through his apex headlining the Woodstock Festival in 1969, and later, his tragic death. It also tells the inside story of Hendrix’s emotional life: his troubled youth in Seattle’s projects; the early loss of his mother, from which he never recovered; his struggles against racial prejudice during his early career in the American South; his years spent pre-fame in Harlem, unaccepted by either black or white culture. And then Hendrix’s life takes off. Jimi is launched amid the swinging London scene of 1966, where he is the talk of the town and soon, the world. This is a book as colorful and large as the decade of the sixties. It is the story of an outrageous life—with legendary tales of sex, drugs, and excess—while it also reveals a man who struggled to accept his role as idol and who privately craved the kind of normal family life he never had. Using never-before-seen documents and private letters, ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS unlocks the vast mystery of one of music’s most enduring legends.
