Black Gold: A Combination Memoir
and Reference for Music Fans


Steven Roby, the author of Black Gold, was the editor and publisher of a internationally distributed Jimi Hendrix magazine and has worked with the Hendrix family's corporation as the editor of the company's magazine and contributor to its website. He has also produced annual radio tributes to the legendary artist and promoted two live Hendrix tribute concerts. Here is a man uniquely equipped to write a biography cum reference of Jimi Hendrix.

This is not a book for everyone but Hendrix fans, and many music fans will love it. Anyone taking a course in American music might also find it an invaluable reference complete with a "Discography," a complete index, a bibliography and extensive notes.
