On part seven of our first musician ad infinitum, Jimi Hendrix, we travel with him through the year 1969, where the Jimi Hendrix Experience was disbanded, Jimi tried out his new band at Woodstock, and Mike Jeffery tightened his hold on the young guitar prodigy.

On this episode of On In Five, we are looking at even more of Jimi as he navigated his way through 1968; losing his long time manager Chas Chandler, finally dealing with his first manager Ed Chalpin, and even hinting at a full breakup of the Jimi Hendrix Experience as the world knew it.

On part five of our deep, deep dive into Jimi Hendrix, we take a look at his life during the 2nd half of 1967, when the 25 year old would reemerge in the United States and attempt to simultaneously become the biggest rock star on both sides of the pond.

On part four of our series on Jimi Hendrix, we take a look at the end of his initial run in the UK.

On this episode of On In Five, we take a look at legendary rocker Jimi Hendrix as he found himself travelling across the pond to attempt to make a name for himself in London. He met some of the biggest musicians of all time, and knocked their socks off with his incredible talent and the perspective he brought to the genre they were all trying to perfect. Things started to take off for Jimi nearly as soon as it was wheels down in the UK, and it's all broken down on this episode.

On this episode of On In Five, we cover Jimi Hendrix as he attempted to make a name for himself as a guitarist.

On this episode of On In Five News, we pile on the depressing by talking about Britney Spears current legal struggles with her father, how vinyl has gotten too big for its own good, and how the chances of a new avenue of live music might get bigger than we could ever hope.
