ABOUT POWER OF SOUL: A TRIBUTE TO JIMI HENDRIX
Star-studded musical tribute to Jimi Hendrix highlighted by contributions by artists from rock, R&B, blues and funk. Each of these artists bears witness to Hendrix's imprint on their own music. From the contemporary R&B stylings of Musiq to the deep country blues of John Lee Hooker, Jimi's creative spirit--the pure inventive freedom he drew upon to originate these signature songs--stands undiminished.

This special project features new interpretations of Hendrix's classics from a host a music's biggest stars including Lenny Kravitz, Sting, Santana, Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Earth Wind & Fire and numerous others.

While Power Of Soul was created to pay homage to Jimi's influence on popular music, another very important component of this project--wholly embraced by the album's executive producers and participating artists--was the commitment to continue supporting a scholarship fund in Jimi Hendrix's name at the United Negro College Fund.

Can't attend the autograph session, you can always order a copy of Power Of Soul through Authentic Hendrix: The Official Jimi Hendrix Online Store.

ABOUT JIMI HENDRIX: THE LYRICS
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 of words hitherto unexplored within the realms of pop music. This extraordinarily personal book includes numerous examples of Jimi's handwritten lyrics, often scribbled on hotel stationery, and photos of Jimi accompanying every song. From the existential euphoria of "I Don't Live 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)," the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix remain among the greatest in the pantheon of rock, infused with the same inventiveness, virtuosity and courage that informed his guitar playing. Readers will of course also thrill to see such Hendrix classics as "Purple Haze," "Foxey Lady," "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Dolly Dagger" and "Are You Experienced?" Jimi Hendrix: The Lyrics is sure to be one of the leading gift books of the season and a perennial for fans for years to come. The Lyrics is presented in a special hardcover coffee-table style format annotating more than 70 of Hendrix's most beloved works in one stunning package; complete with extensive full-color and b/w photos and illustrations throughout.

Can't attend the autograph session, you can always order a copy of Jimi Hendrix: The Lyrics (signed or unsigned) through Authentic Hendrix: The Official Jimi Hendrix Online Store.
