The life of Jimi Hendrix

"'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky: Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child is the newly revised, updated, and expanded edition of the definitive biography of the man behind the legend. It melds the original text, which featured Hendrix's voice in complete interviews, with new material - to the extent that Hendrix could easily be described as the coauthor of this work." "Henderson now offers information that was initially difficult to obtain in the years following Hendrix's death. With the passage of time, originally reluctant informants have come forward, and many of the cover-ups and legal battles have been resolved. All of this has shed new light on Hendrix's life, as well as on the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death." "This edition includes more of Hendrix's personal writings, and goes more in depth about his romantic life and the music - its creation, problems, and triumphs - as scholarship and recognition of his importance have deepened over time. While revealing essential information about his untimely death, 'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky reads like a grand adventure novel but also includes salient cultural, political, and historical background."--BOOK JACKET.
