Are You Experienced?
For the celebration of what would have been Jimi Hendrix’s 70th birthday, PBS American Masters will be premiering the two-hour documentary Hear My Train A Comin’, November 5, 9 p.m. ET, (check local listings). Full of archival interviews with the psychedelic rock guitar god, there is also commentary included from well-known friends and musicians including Paul McCartney and band members Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox. Hendrix set the world (and his instrument, as part of his act) on fire with sounds never before heard coming out of the electric guitar before his death at age 26 in 1970. –EG
