Overview
In 1969, a twenty-something screenwriter with one movie credit to his name is approached by Jimiās management after the legendary guitarist saw the obscure indie film in London and had the idea to collaborate on a project of his own. Jonathan Stathakis had no idea how thrilling the next eighteen months would be, as he and Hendrix formed not just a working partnership but a unique friendship. Hendrix ushered Jonathan into his world, where plenty of sex and drugs surrounded the rock ānā roll. From Woodstock to Electric Ladyland, Jonathan leads readers inside one of the craziest trips ever taken in music history.
While writing their script, Jonathan and Hendrix talked about life and where their roads were leading. Hendrix the performer was a flamboyant unpredictable force of nature. But Hendrix the friend was a thoughtful, frustrated, dedicated artist who oftentimes just needed somebody to talk to. Sadly, Hendrixās journey ended far too soon, and his last phone call to Jonathanājust two days before his death in Londonāalmost seemed to foretell his fate.
With many never-before-told stories and never-before-seen photographs, Jimi Hendrix comes back to life as youāve never experienced him before. Backstage, on stage, and everyplace in between, get ready to ride through the purple haze and experience one of the most creative and powerful cultural eras in history. Itās Almost Famous with a Hendrix twist.
