Jimi Hendrix, "Hair"
Graphite on Paper
Jimi Hendrix was an undeniable force in the evolution of rock and roll guitar. Where most people in his position would push the boundaries, he instead chose to shatter them. Moving into a transcendent free-form blend of tradition rhythm and blues, surf rock and country as well as jazz - Hendrix used them to redefine what the establishment had come to think of as rock music in the late 60's. Although his life was cut short at the young age of twenty-seven, we remember him now, forty years later just as lovingly as those who saw him perform. Isn't it about time to bring a little piece of the legend home with you?
