Movie

Jimi Hendrix and The Blues

Although far from a traditional Blues guitarist, even Hendrix’s most psychedelic guitar solos were steeped in the Blues of Howlin’ Wolf and Buddy Guy. Tracing his career from backup musician to the Isley Brothers to rock n’ roll stardom, Jimi Hendrix and the Blues tells the story of how the greatest guitarist of his generation took the Mississippi Delta Blues into the stratosphere.
