JIMI: Sounds Like A Rainbow A Story of the Young Jimi Hendrix (Clarion/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) |
"Golio produces another sensitively written, meticulously researched picture biography, this time capturing the intense ambition of the young Bob Dylan." Kirkus Reviews "Golio excels at portraying Zimmerman's angst as he flounders for meaning and even invents for himself a more colorful backstory. …Back matter, including quotation sources, is superb. A stirring introduction to two music legends." Booklist "lyrical, plainspoken writing that echoes folk music itself" Publisher's Weekly |

His earthy, psychedelic folk art matches Golio’s poetic treatment of his subject beautifully, capturing Hendrix’s sound with arresting visuals."
