As a performer and musician, his resume is so complete that there is a tendency to sit back and marvel at it: virtuoso player, sonic innovator, hit songwriter, wild stage performer, outrageous dresser, sex symbol, and even sensitive guy. But there is also a tendency, possibly because of his overwhelming image, to fail to dig deeper into the music, as Rob Van der Bliek has pointed out.1 In this study, we will look at Hendrix’s music, his performance practice, and its relationship to the mythology that has grown up around him.

Worthwhile for the Factual informationBy LLI loved the fresh interview materials and the factual sleuthing the author (Sean Egan) has added to the Hendrix story, and especially towards the time and setting leading up to and around Hendrix's recording of Are You Experienced in London, Great Britain in 1966-1967.The author is less successful when he infuses his own opinion about what works or doesn't work with Hendrix's material. For instance, he would have it that Hendrix would have sung 'ain't sang a tune all WEEK' instead of Day, just to have it vaguely rhyme with 'sang so sweet' from an earlier line... (Even if 'sweet' and 'week' rhymed, that doesn't mean it's a reason to institute it in a song. Let's have Da Vinci go back and add a dog to the last supper, why don't we; wouldn't there be a dog hanging round such a feast for scraps?) As another reviewer has noted, Egan finds fault with songs such as 'I Don't Live Today', 'Third Stone From the Sun' and the song 'Are You Experienced', leading me to belive that while Egan knows it's an 'important album', that doesn't neccessarily equate with him being able to tune into the overall greatness of its individual parts.So while the Egan's own opinions set the book back a shade, one can't discount his effort in getting the research together for this book.
