Classic Rock Revisited founder Jeb Wright recently spoke with JANIE HENDRIX, the sister of music legend JIMI HENDRIX. He has issued the following overview of the discussion:
"Have you ever wondered what would it be like to have a famous sibling? What if your own flesh and blood relative were not just famous but an American icon? What would it be like to have Jimi Hendrix as your big brother? Janie Hendrix can tell you what it is like. For the most part, it is wonderful and special, but like everything in life, there is a ying and yang. There are nuts who want to live in Jimi's reality instead of their own. There are those who want to trash your name and even those in the family that feel they are more deserving of protecting Jimi's legacy.The negative has never kept Janie from doing what she needed to do, however. Under her leadership Experience Hendrix LLC is growing and giving back to Jimi's millions of fans. Most recently, Janie has overseen a change of record company's to Sony's Legacy and presided over the release of the latest Jimi release, West Coast Seattle Boy, which features four discs of previously unreleased studio and live recordings.
During this interview Janie discusses running the company, her memories of Jimi when she was a child and how the family deals with Jimi's drug filled past. This is a unique and open interview with a true champion who is dedicated to making sure her brother's legacy gets the respect it deserves and will personally see to it that his music is around for generations to come."
