The book is an account of Hendrix's life leading up to his international popularity.

Nashville, Greenwich Village, and Harlem, for example—and how influence of those places and people he associated in each on his musical style.[2] David Kirby of The New York Times highlights the book's finding that Hendrix's exposure to Bob Dylan was among his most defining moments, becoming successful the following year.[1] For Adweek, the most salient insight into Hendrix's personality presented by the book was his great interest in science fiction literature.[3]
