Jimi Hendrix was a rock 'n' roll guitar god and remains an important rock icon, still popular despite the four decades that have passed since his death in 1970. The Words and Music of Jimi Hendrix uses Hendrix's music-including the posthumous album Valleys of Neptune, released on March 9, 2010-to shed light on the details of the singer/songwriter's all-too-brief life.Organized chronologically, the book provides an in-depth look at Hendrix's life, carving autobiographical details from his lyrics. At the same time, it offers readers a better understanding of the superstar's music and the forces behind it. The book focuses on the three albums released during Hendrix's life, as well as the major posthumous works. Priority is also given to touring and to the influence of other guitarists.

Throughout his life and perhaps even more since his death in 1981 at the age of 36, Bob Marley's music has demonstrated a unique ability to combine with almost any cultural setting, no matter how different the elements might at first appear.

Bob Marley was the first superstar to emerge from the Third World. Although he lived a short life, only 36 years, Marley penned an enormous quantity of songs, pioneering a new reggae rhythm and sound that was distinctly Jamaican. This book gives an inside look at the man behind the legend.

Reggae music is more than just steel drum bands on white sand beaches. Ideal for reggae lovers and college students studying music, this encyclopedia is comprehensive for high school students and non-music students as well.
