Wild Thing

The Short, Spellbinding Life of Jimi Hendrix

By: Philip Norman

Narrated by: Ako Mitchell

A shattering new biography of rock music’s most outrageous - and tragic - genius....

Over 50 years after his death, 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 and in fear of a father who would hit him for playing left-handed. Bringing Jimi’s story to vivid life against the backdrop of mid-century rock, and with a wealth of new information, acclaimed music biographer Philip Norman delivers a captivating and definitive portrait of a musical legend.

Terrible narrator

The narrator is pretty awful. For some reason, when he’s reading quotes, he goes into this quiet little voice like a mouse that I could barely discern. It not only makes it an annoying book to listen to but detracts from the source material bc the way in which it is read is almost infantile.

Jimi

Found out a lot of info that I never would have known. Really like Mr Normans i
Bio’s. This is # 3

Great historical account of Jimi!

Every time I read or listen to a biography of Jimi Hendrix I learn something new. This audiobook is one of the best yet!

Definitely not Audible

The orator was awful. There wasn’t a reason for him to go low in some segments. I could barely understand what was going on. I had to keep turning the volume up and down. Very annoying and totally ruined this story
