Becoming Jimi Hendrix traces “Jimmy’s” early musical roots, from a harrowing, hand-to-mouth upbringing in a poverty-stricken, broken Seattle home to his early discovery of the blues to his stint as a reluctant recruit of the 101st Airborne who was magnetically drawn to the rhythm and blues scene in Nashville. Utilizing court transcripts, FBI files, private letters, unpublished photos, and U.S. Finally, in New York’s Greenwich Village, two key women helped him survive, and his discovery in a tiny basement club in 1966 led to Hendrix instantly being heralded as a major act in Europe before he returned to America, appeared at the Monterey Pop Festival, and entered the pantheon of rock’s greatest musicians. Becoming Jimi Hendrix is based on over one hundred interviews with those who knew Hendrix best during his lean years, more than half of whom have never spoken about him on the record. Army documents, this is the story of a young musician who overcame enormous odds, a past that drove him to outbursts of violence, and terrible professional and personal decisions that complicated his life before his untimely demise..

An Absolutely Brilliant Look At Hendrix BECOMING JIMI HENDRIX was an absolute joy to read. Having "lived the day" the book brought back not only the memories of Hendrix and the music scene of that period, but it more defined his genius and his motivation. For Hendrix, it was all about the music, and the mystery of his journey from irrelevancy to fame is documented in this book by two authors who not only understand the complexity of Hendrix, but also his sensitivity and his courage as a musician and as a man.

He even slept with it. These are the kind of details one learns in Roby and Schreiber’s entertaining biography, which follows Hendrix from his troubled childhood in Seattle, his disastrous stint in the army (he refused to conform to regulations), and on to New York and London, where he died under rather mysterious circumstances.
