From AudioFile:
Seattle rock historian Charles Cross takes a deep and sensitive look at the complex life of the short-lived father of acid rock. Beginning with HendrixÕs family roots in Arkansas, Virginia, and British Columbia, actor Lloyd James narrates this chronicle of the guitaristÕs troubled childhood in Seattle, his apprenticeship along the ÒChitlinÕ circuitÓ and in the coffeehouses of Greenwich Village, his stellar rise as a phenomenon in England, and his drug-and-alcohol-fueled descent to death. JamesÕs intensity and emotion make his reading compelling despite his overtly Òwhite breadÓ voice. Surprisingly absent from this recording are musical sound bites to illustrate HendrixÕs musical style. Nevertheless, ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS is a beautiful and unforgettable audio biography.
