About a week before Jimi Hendrixās death in September 1970, an interviewer asked about his role in the invention of psychedelic music. Hendrix, who was as soft-spoken offstage as he was incendiary on it, laughed. Sure, you could call it psychedelic if you wanted: the trippy imagery; the wild, loud performances. But more than psychedelic, he explained, he was trying to get across what he called āa clash between fantasy and reality.ā From the beginning, his music captured the outer reaches of a counterculture turning on to new chemicals, sounds, feelings, and social possibilities (āPurple Haze,ā āAre You Experienced?ā). But it also remained grounded in traditions of Black music carried over from his days as a guitarist on the chitlin circuitāblues, yes, but also smooth, Chicago-style R&B (āHave You Ever Been [To Electric Ladyland]ā), the syncopations of funk (āFire,ā āFreedomā), and the naked expressivity of Southern soul (āThe Wind Cries Maryā). No matter how adventurous he got (and how unprecedented he sounded), Jimi Hendrix came fromāand spoke toāEarth.
Born John Allen Hendrix in Seattle in 1942 (and later renamed James Marshall Hendrix by his parents), he started his career as a sideman for artists like The Isley Brothers and Little Richard before moving to England in 1966, where he became an instant legend. (EveryoneāEric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck, everyoneāhas a story about the first time they saw Hendrix; Keith Richards later joked that in creating a style that nobody could copy but that inspired everyone to try, Hendrix nearly ruined the guitar.) In two years, he recorded three albums that set new standards for what blues-based rock could be. He made druggy, mind-bending music that came across like pop (1967ās Are You Experienced) and helped redefine the rock album as a kind of stylistic playground where artists could contrast moods, explore curiosities, and stretch their creative visions (1968ās Electric Ladyland). At the heart of even his fieriest music was a gentleness that registered, above all, as spiritual curiosity. A poem he wrote a few hours before his death in 1970 featured the lines āthe story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye/The story of love is hello and goodbye.ā
