Summary: Jimi Hendrix' Musical Writings
Review: "Do not ignore the sun for the sun is the truth shining to be seen," Jimi Hendrix said. Which from our point of view is Jimi Hendrix expressing his religion, saying that you should not ignore god for he is the truth shining to be seen. The words above are a quote from the book "Jimi Hendrix The Lost Writings." Notes Compiled by Bill Nitopi. After Jimi Hendrix died September 18, 1970 his house was ransacked, and almost everything was stolen. Alot of the lost writing were relocated, bought on the black market or recovered in auction houses. They were all brought together to form this book. Even though his handwriting wasn't the best, it is for the most part legible. In this book you can really understand what he was thinking almost until the day he died. It has notes of his feelings during his music career. The notes taken on his feelings talk about things like how a concert went, his feelings about abortion, and even on the wars that were going on. There were also a few stories he had written, along with songs that were published and not published. In this book there are pictures of what Jimi Hendrix was doing on and off the stage. If you are a musician who has trouble writing lyrics this book will give you tons of ideas for songs though there is no plot to this book just notes Jimi had written. So, all in all, if you are a poet or a song writer you may want to pusue this book if not you are better reading a biography.

Review: This book features long lost artwork. writing and lyrics by the man himself: Jimi Hendrix. It is an impressive collection of different pieces of this legendary artist's short but brilliant life. Jimi's handwritten lyrics and artwork take you to a place that only a select few have seen and known about, until now. This book is like reading a bible on Hendrix and his life. It's so personal and revealing that you feel like you're almost inside the man's head!!! It is that personal. It is also intensely moving and hilarious at times.(particularly the lyrics to Astro Man!!) It is profusely illustrated with pictures of Hendrix and quotes and drawings. It is very impressive. If you can find this book, BUY IT!!!

Review: This book has served as a Bible for me. Although it lacks pictures and long stories, it has the ACTUAL pages written by Jimi. Too bad I lost it.
