Crosstown Traffic: Jimi Hendrix and Post-War Pop by Charles Shaar Murray

2.0

It had some interesting things in it. There were long, passionate thoughts from the author on the historical issues of race and music, soul and jazz influences, what rock is and where it's from, how white people influenced Jimi Hendrix's fame, etc. I didn't really like it, however, because it often strayed into unconvincing, rambling territory. Not to mention that there was not that much on Hendrix! I was trying to find a good biography on him, but it just doesn't cut it.
