Today, Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) 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. Bringing Hendrix's story to vivid life against the
backdrop of midcentury rock, and interweaving new interviews with
friends, lovers, bandmates, and his family, Wild Thing vividly
reconstructs Hendrix's remarkable career, from playing segregated clubs
on the Chitlin' Circuit to achieving stardom in Swinging London.
