TWO HOUR DOCUMENTARY FEATURING THE LEGENDARY GUITARIST'S STORY IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS AND RECORDINGS FROM THE HENDRIX PRIVATE ARCHIVE
Over the course of just four extraordinary years, Jimi Hendrix left an indelible stamp on the world, shaping not only popular music but popular culture as well. He remains the most innovative musician of his, or any other, era having virtually reshaped the vocabulary of the electric guitar for future generations. "Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child" is an autobiographical journey that reveals the man as never before, featuring the legendary musician's own words to tell the story of his remarkable life.
Drawing upon interviews granted by Hendrix, coupled with letters, writings and recordings, "Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child" provides new insight into one of the most enduring icons of popular culture. The special is filled with never before seen photographs and film footage from the Hendrix family archive and features a soundtrack that includes such legendary Hendrix recordings as "Purple Haze," "Hey Joe," "Fire," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" together with never before heard live performances. Funk legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Bootsy Collins of Parliament-Funkadelic renown, is featured as the voice of Jimi Hendrix.

About the feature:
This is a documentary of Jimi Hendrix's life "in his own words", there is a narrator speaking as he was Jimi. Gathered from letters from Jimi to his family, interviews and other sources, gives a personal touch to the feature, innovative storytelling, gotta give it that.
About the content:
It isn't great tough, if you are looking for a detailed retrospective narrating every detail on how things came to happen you won't find it here, if you are looking for a concert film and a lot of performances, won't find that here either, it's more like a personal diary overview of jimi hendrix.
About the disc:
Given the source material, Bluray quality isn't great, it's as good as it gets of course, but no HD to be found here. What I think it's a shame, and makes me drop a star out of this product, is the lack of extras, it would be great if it contained the full performances of the bits shown in the film, or at least a couple. (No Latin american spanish either)
Note: this is a bonus DVD on the Jimi hendrix anthology box set too, if you want to get that, I wouldn't recommend the box for casual fans, it's just for completist. so you're better off getting this film separately.
Must have for any hendrix fan, that's for sure.

Wonderful Music from the greatest Guitar Icon who died way before his time, so much more music from his vaults the Experience Estate is holding unfortunately
