Summary

Think of Jimi Hendrix and most people conjure up a larger-than-life, almost other-worldly image-a man who was destined to be a star; a man who set fire to guitars, women's hearts, and the status " a man who strutted across stages with the plumage of a peacock. In this illuminating, groundbreaking, uniquely indepth account of Jimi Hendrix's life, best-selling author and music journalist Charles R. Cross paints a far deeper, more compelling portrait of this musical genius. Beyond his legendary sex appeal, his drug use, his onstage presence, and his backstage magnetism, Room Full of Mirrors captures the whole man, from birth to death-a view of Hendrix unlike any revealed before.
