Summary:
"Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of
Jimi
Hendrix
's death, the best-selling author of Shout! delivers a compelling new biography of the legendary guitarist. Celebrated as the most innovative guitarist ever to play,
Jimi
Hendrix
(1942-1970) is renowned for symphonic solos and virtuosic picking (sometimes, with his teeth). But, as Philip Norman describes, before
Hendrix
was setting guitars aflame onstage, he was a shy kid in Seattle, plucking at a broken ukulele and looking out for his father, who chided him for playing left-handed. Interweaving new interviews with friends, lovers, bandmates, and his family,
Wild
Thing
vividly reconstructs
Hendrix
's remarkable life- from playing in segregated clubs on the Chitlin' Circuit to earning stardom in Swinging London in 1966. For more than four mindboggling years

Wild
Thing
reveals the endlessly complex figure behind the unforgettable riffs."--From publisher.
