From a wealth o f unreleased and com mercially unavailable studio, live, and home recordings, the author c h ro n ic le s ev ery sta g e o f Hendrix’s career, from his early tours and recordings with Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, and Curtis Knight to jam sessions with Janis Joplin, Frank Zappa, and Stephen Stills. By examining how Hendrix’s fame was created and exploited, Roby counters many misperceptions to finally set the record straight. The author provides the first full analysis o f “First Rays o f the New Rising Sun,” Hendrix’s un finished album; discusses “Black Gold,” an unreleased autobio graphical musical suite that has been in storage for thirty years; and speculates in his unfinished compositions, such as “Scorpio Woman,” a twenty-four-minute piece recorded only weeks before his death and never released. Roby has uncovered the stories behind little-known and forgot ten works, including Hendrix’s participation in the recording o f Don Covay and the Goodtimers’ “Mercy, Mercy,” a Top 40 hit in 1964, and his proposed collabora tion with Quincy Jones. The author explores Hendrix’s journeys into jazz with Miles Davis, John M cLaughlin, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk; his excur sions into blues with B.B. King, Johnny Winter, and Buddy Guy; and his backing o f early rap pio neers like the Last Poets.
