Drawing from unprecedented access to Jimi’s brother, Leon Hendrix, as well as Kathy Etchingham and Linda Keith, the two women vital in Jimi’s rise to stardom, rock biography ace Phillip Norman traces Jimi’s life from playing segregated clubs on the Chitlin’ Circuit, to barely scraping by in New York’s Greenwich Village, to swinging London with the Animals’ on to international stardom & overnight guitar god status. Then he died. Mysteriously. In Wild Thing, Norman digs deeper than any Hendrix bio yet.
