Jimi Hendrix was such an extraordinary guitarist, it can be easy to forget that just as much passion, soul, and precision went into his lyrics. Inspired by Bob Dylan, Hendrix was a fearless lyrical innovator, willing to let his imagination guide him to landscapes hitherto unexplored within the realm of pop music.
From the existential euphoria of “I Don't Love Today” to the elusive beauty of “Little Wing” to the psychedelic blues of “My Friend” to the otherworldly “1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be),” his lyrics remain among the greatest in the pantheon of rock, infused with the same inventiveness, virtuosity, and courage that informed his guitar playing.
Here are all the words to the Hendrix classics you've rocked along to for years, as well as unpublished songs from Valleys of Neptune and other hitherto undiscovered sources. Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyrics Book, compiled by Janie L. Hendrix, is extraordinarily personal. It includes numerous examples of Jimi's handwritten lyrics, often scribbled on hotel stationery, as well as photos of Jimi to accompany every song. Much of this material has never been seen before.
Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyrics Book (hardcover) will give you a glimpse of the lyricist behind the songs, a songwriter whose words were just as searing as his solos.

RALF GIESSEMarch 17, 2022I am really enjoying to read and to travel along the Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyric Book, very well compiled by his sister Janie L. Hendrix. It is an exciting experience to go deeper in the understanding of Jimi's lyrics. A long side each song there is a previously unreleased and beautiful photograph of him. His creativity on writing will hold the attention of the reader and/or listener, in all areas of life, being social and love relationships, as well as war and daily life issues, including new landscapes in the mind. I thank Lord Jesus for such a good care on this creative compiling work done by Janie, like her work together with Eddie Kramer and John McDermott on the posthumous releases of Jimi's music and filmed live concerts. Also marvellously included in this book is a moving foreword written by Ernie Isley. Highly Recommended.
