Photo of the Week: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix

Johnny Allen Hen­drix would have been 66 years old this Thurs­day. As the guitar legend Jimi Hen­drix, he took elec­tric blues riffs to psy­che­delic levels. During his short life he won many of the most pres­ti­gious rock-​n-​roll honors. In 2003, Rolling Stone Mag­a­zine placed him at the top of their list of the 100 great­est gui­tarist of all time.

    This photo I believe was one of many out of a shoot for Rolling Stone Mag­a­zine. They may have sold the orig­i­nal rights, but photo was from 60’s shoot in London I believe. I know this as his outfit, posi­tion­ing, cig­a­rette, and hair are all the same from photo I sketched of him from the same shoot. Google Jimi under rolling stone and you’ll see cover. Happy B-Day Jimi!
