Room Full of Mirrors: A Biography of Jimi Hendrix

'Charles R. Cross has got as close to the truth as anyone yet in his exhaustive and ground-breaking account of the life of the greatest guitarist in the history of rock,' notes the Observer. The Sunday Telegraph simply calls it 'Superb.'

Jimi Hendrix continues to fascinate and sell huge quantities of albums, even 35 years after his death. Quite apart from his profound influence on musicians and fans, a large part of the appeal of his sensational life story lies in the thrill of the era whose values he came to embody. The Sixties still exert a massive pull over pop culture, and this is genuinely a book for anyone interested not only in Hendrix but also in anything to do with the pop culture of the last 40 years.

Meticulously researched and sensitively and beautifully written, this is clearly a labour of love. It skillfully reveals the nuances, foibles, and tragedies of the human being behind the iconic image. This is the sweeping, authoritative, and vibrant biography that Jimi Hendrix, and his legions of fans, both young and old, truly deserve.
