"In his brief four year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master of coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion." - All Music Guide to the Blues

"Purists may feel that the inclusion of rock guitar god Jimi Hendrix on a site dedicated to blues music is shear blasphemy. It can be argued, however, that Hendrix did more to bring the blues to a white audience than either the influential blues artists of the 1950s and '60s or the white British blues-rockers that followed. First and foremost, Hendrix was a bluesman at heart. The guitarist made his bones playing blues and rockin' R&B in Southern clubs before his fame. Hendrix later brought a great deal of that blues style and tradition to the music he created during the late-1960s." - About.com
