Tonight's Way Back Playback movie is "Hendrix" based on yes, you guess it the amazing Jimi Hendrix. This film is a made for TV movie that gives a general depiction of Jimi's life, his rise to fame and then his unfortunate early death. The movie is good in giving a general understanding of the music career of Jimi Hendrix. On another note for all the Hendrix fans out there you might be slightly disappointed in the guitar playing scenes ,they don't play any of Hendrix"s original music! Either they didn't have the rights or didn't have the budget to get the rights. They do play however, "Hey Joe", "Foxy Lady", "All Along the Watchtower" and a few others though these weren't his original compositions. All in all I think that the film is a great starting point in getting to know more about Jimi Hendrix and his short but unforgettable music career. Check it out and enjoy.
