A L.A. Times Non-Fiction Hardcover Best Seller

 

Hendrix on Hendrix includes the most important interviews from the peak of Jimi Hendrix’s career, 1966 to 1970, carefully selected by one of the world’s leading Jimi Hendrix historians.

In this book Hendrix recalls for reporters his heartbreaking childhood and his grueling nights on the Chitlin’ Circuit. He jokes with the judge and the jury on the witness stand, telling them that the incense in his bag was for hiding bad kitchen odors. He explains to an American TV audience that his concept of “Electric Church Music” is intended to wash their souls and give them a new direction. And in his final interview, just days before his death, he discloses that he wants to be remembered as not just another guitar player.

In addition to interviews from major mainstream publications, Hendrix on Hendrix includes new transcriptions from European papers, the African-American press, and counterculture newspapers; radio and television interviews; and previously unpublished court transcripts—including one of the drug bust that nearly sent him to prison.Though many respected books have been written about Hendrix, none have completely focused on his own words. This book is as close to a Hendrix autobiography as we will ever see.

CHAPTER 1

December 1966 to May 1967


JIMI HENDRIX'S FIRST-CLASS FLIGHT landed at London's Heathrow Airport at 9:00 AM on September 24, 1966. His Stratocaster guitar in its case, a change of clothes, and acne cream were the only things he brought to conquer England. By the end of the day, he had a jam at the Scotch of St. James club lined up and a new girlfriend in his bed. Anything seemed possible.

Within days, Chas Chandler acquired a work permit and set up auditions for the new group, the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Guitarist Noel Redding, originally hoping to fill in the lead-guitarist position for the New Animals, was hired partly because of his willingness to learn bass — and because Hendrix liked his wild, bushy hair. By early October, the talented Mitch Mitchell was selected as the drummer.

Hendrix's sound quickly gained popularity. "Hey Joe," the debut single, received rave reviews and reached number twelve on the R&B chart and number thirty-eight in the national singles chart by year's end.

Hendrix was encouraged to write his own material, and the resulting album, Are You Experienced, became part of the psychedelic soundtrack for most of 1967. The next hurdle was Hendrix's homeland, America.


"MR. PHENOMENON!"

PETER JONES | From RECORD MIRROR, December 10, 1966.

On November 25, 1966, the newly formed Jimi Hendrix Experience held a press reception and concert at the Bag O' Nails Club in London. Hendrix arrived in England only two months prior, but he had already jammed with Cream, toured France and Germany, and recorded his first single, "Hey Joe." Within two days of this reception, he'd celebrate his twenty-fourth birthday.

RECORD MIRROR reporter Peter Jones had the honor of capturing Hendrix in his first interview with the English music press. The JHE played their first UK club date the following day.


Now hear this — and kindly hear it good! Are you one of the fans who think there's nothing much new happening on the pop scene? Right ... then we want to bring your attention to a new artist, a new star-in-the-making, who we predict is going to whirl round the business like a tornado.

Name: Jimi Hendrix. Occupation: Guitarist-singer-composer-showman-dervish-original. His group, just three-strong: The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Bill Harry and I dropped in at the Bag O' Nails Club in Kingley Street recently to hear the trio working out for the benefit of Press and bookers. An astonished Harry muttered: "Is that full, big, blasting, swinging sound really being created by only three people?" It was, with the aid of a mountain of amplification equipment.

Jimi was in full flight. Whirling like a demon, swirling his guitar every which way, this 20-year-old [sic] (looking rather like James Brown) was quite amazing. Visually he grabs the eyeballs with his techniques of playing the guitar with his teeth, his elbow, rubbing it across the stage ... but he also pleasurably hammers the eardrums with his expert playing. An astonishing technique ... especially considering he started playing only five or six years ago.

Sweatily exhausted, Jimi said afterwards: "I've only been in London three months — but Britain is really groovy. Just been working in Paris and Munich."

In the trio: drummer Mitch Mitchell, a jazz fan, and rock 'n' roll addict Noel Redding on bass. "We don't want to be classed in any category," said Jimi, "If it must have a tag, I'd like it...
