Book Description
The Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix is a thorough reference book to the life and music of the greatest rock guitarist of all time. It covers all the key events in his metamorphosis from a misfit youngster growing up in poverty in Seattle to his rise to international stardom, from his days as a starving backup musician in the early 1960s to his triumphant appearances at the Monterey Pop and Woodstock rock festivals and his mysterious, sordid death in 1970. Special chapters are devoted to vivid description and critical evaluation of all his important studio and live albums and best thirty songs, as well as all major live and documentary Hendrix videos; his myriad musical influences from blues, soul, rock, and jazz; Hendrix-related sites and shrines; and his spectacular arsenal of guitar techniques and effects. Also including special features on overlooked aspects of his art ranging from his love of Bob Dylan's music to his relationship with the Black Power movement, The Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix in a new ePub format documents all dimensions of this one-of-a-kind musical genius.
Joseph Smith
Author: Richard Lyman BushmanPublisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1400077532
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 786
Book Description
Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was twenty-three and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age thirty-eight. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations. An arresting narrative of the birth of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling also brilliantly evaluates the prophet’s bold contributions to Christian theology and his cultural place in the modern world.
