Review
"A jumpy, fast-talking take on Jimi Hendrix... Tate is smart and playful." -- Kirkus, May 2003. "An excellent variation on the hindsight conjecture found in much of the existing material on Hendrix. Recommended for all libraries." -- Library Journal. "At times 'Lightning' hits like a bolt." -- VIBE. "Few writers are better equipped to tackle such questions than Greg Tate... bursts with ideas." -- The Onion. "A remarkably astute examination of Hendrix's protean talents... Tate writes with an engaging, highly stylized voice." -- Wilson Quarterly. "An engaging and refreshing read from start to finish." -- Upscale. "One of the most original and linguistically inventive cultural observers in print... marvelously head-whirling phraseology." -- St Petersburg Times. "Like no biography that has come before." -- Relix. "Tate's dead-on logic is intriguing and revealing." -- Black Issues Book Review. "A testament to how much the enigmatic guitarist still affects American culture." -- N'Music.
