Reviews

Ian (Flash Review)This three-part series, a three hour total, is a non-musical glimpse into the life, artistic vision and life path of the guitar genius. There were many interviews from friends, family, colleagues and Jimi himself that move the documentary forward. Providing insight into what inspired him and his creativity, how he broke out of the backup guitarist filler role and into the spotlight, his extensive LSD drug use, his passion for mastering his own album production and what made his all too brief four year stint historically monumental. Toward the end, interviews and the director painted a picture of an overworked soul, because of full and frequent tour dates and negative influences, while at the same time getting up early to create new music which lead to an even heavier substance usage. All that may have led to his ultimate demise at age 27. A happy and sad reflection of one of the most innovative guitarists of all time. The documentary itself was rather basic and unimaginative.

audiostew This Hendrix biography comes as a 3-Disc set, each disc covering a portion of his life (1942-1970). You can pick it up at Wal-Mart for around $19. The bio is rather insightful via family, friends, and collaborators of Jimi recounting his life. It contains some film footage of him, but most of it is photos and audio snipits. It talks about the good and the bad of his upbringing, and the development of his unique and spiritual personality. Follows his move from Seattle to London to Manhattan and back to London. Sheds light into the meaning of his lyrics, and contains a minimal amount of film and slew of pictures of his more memorable performances. Also contains information regarding the myths and mysteries surrounding his untimely death. All and all, a good film for the avid Hendrix fan, classic rock music lovers, or just to have an immense amount of Hendrix trivia in your pocket at the office water cooler/record store. (i.e. he was friends with Bruce Lee)Jesse
