Hendrix, Jimi: West Coast Seattle Boy

VAREN ER UDGÅET

I september var det 40 år siden at Jimi Hendrix forlod verden efter et liv og en karriere, som nok blev kort, men som også forandrede rockmusikken for altid.

Hans eksplosive, kreative proces fra almindelig håndværksguitarist i forskellige R&B-bands til stilbrydende og stilskabende ikon bliver nu samlet i denne boks ”West Coast Seattle Boy – The Jimi Hendrix Anthology”.

Boksen rummer live-numre og alternative versioner af Hendrix’ sange samt en coverversion af Bob Dylans ”Tears of Rage”. Herudover den største samling nogensinde af de hits, Hendrix spillede med på for andre kunstnere tidligt i karrieren. Kunstnere som Little Richard og The Isley Brothers. Endelig får man også den nye dokumentarfilm ”Jimi Hendrix
Voodoo Child”, som er instrueret af Bob Smeaton. Han vandt en Grammy både for dokumentaren ”The Beatles Anthology” i 1997 og for ”Hendrix: Band of Gypies” i 2000.
