About this listen

A quarter of a century after his death, Jimi Hendrix's popularity is undiminished, his place as the preeminent electric guitarist of the age unrivaled. Back in print, with a new introduction, a new epilogue, and an updated discography, The Jimi Hendrix Experience gives the whole story of his legendary life and career, the virtuosity and madness, the genius and the rush to self-destruction, as well as the fierce ongoing battle for control over his estate that has been waged since Hendrix's death.

I wish I'd looked up more serious Hendrix biographies like Room of Mirrors (or whatever). The author of this seemed oddly ... like he didn't really care very deeply about his subject, and scandalized, or embarrassed, by things about him, in a way that led me to wonder what might have been missing or distorted.

Good story, insubstantial telling

I really enjoyed this book full detail of Jimi Hendrix life and musical career and his legacy! Jerry Hopkins does a really good job of explaining hendrix's life without boring us and keeping the reader in tune and interested.

Awesome!

I'm familiar with Jimi Hendrix but I didn't know too much about his life as he was already gone by the time I was born. I enjoyed listening about his life. My dad and I discussed Jimi Hendrix as he had recently watched a documentary. I had heard the story surrounding his untimely demise but to get a deeper dive into what happened was eye opening. The story surrounding the alleged kidnapping was very interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook and learned a lot about Jimi, a talent gone way too soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this bio of the greatest guitar player ever. As a teen some years ago, I was blown away by his talent and I still am.
If you love Jimi this Bio is worth a listen.

Greatest Experience

Very informative about the fast times of Jimi. This book went into the business side of his life. Very interesting.

Good But Not Great

If you’re going to narrate something that involves a LOT of British people, maybe brush up your stupid fake accent just a little before making paying customers sit through hours and hours of it. Wow, painful!! Not recommended. Embarrassingly rough going.

Okay bio but HORRIBLE audiobook
