A shattering new biography of rock musics most outrageousand tragicgenius.

Over fifty years after his death, Jimi Hendrix (19421970) is celebrated as the greatest rock guitarist of all time. But before he was setting guitars and the world aflame, James Marshall Hendrix was a shy kid in Seattle, plucking at a broken ukulele and in fear of a father who would hit him for playing left-handed. Bringing Jimis story to vivid life against the backdrop of midcentury rock, and with a wealth of new information, acclaimed music biographer Philip Norman delivers a captivating and definitive portrait of a musical legend.

Drawing from unprecedented access to Jimis brother, Leon Hendrix, who provides disturbing details about their childhood, as well as Kathy Etchingham and Linda Keith, the two women who played vital roles in Jimis rise to stardom, Norman traces Jimis life from playing in clubs on the segregated Chitlin Circuit, where he encountered daily racism, to barely surviving in New Yorks Greenwich Village, where was taken up by the Animals bass player Chas Chandler in 1966 and exported to Swinging London and international stardom.

For four staggering years, from 1966 to 1970, Jimi totally rewrote the rules of rock stardom, notably at Monterey and Woodstock (where he played his protest-infused rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner), while becoming the highest-paid musician of his day. But it all abruptly ended in the shabby basement of a London hotel with Jimis too-early death. With remarkable detail, Wild Thing finally reveals the truth behind this long-shrouded tragedy.

Normans exhaustive research reveals a young man who was as shy and polite in private as he was outrageous in public, whose insecurity about his singing voice could never be allayed by his instrumental genius, and whose unavailing efforts to please his father left him searching for the family he felt he never truly had. Filled with insights into the greatest moments in rock history, Wild Thing is a mesmerizing account of musics most enduring and endearing figures.
