Speaker 3: Jimmy Hendricks Redhouse News Radio eight forty WHS, for over
Speaker 3: three decades, as my Next Guest, has helped serve as
Speaker 3: catalog director for Jimmy Hendrix's family Company experienced Jimmy Hendrix
Speaker 3: else I wandering bringing him in right now. John McDermott,
Speaker 3: Hey John, how you doing man? I'm doing fine, Matt.
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.
Speaker 3: Well, thanks for coming on. I wanted John because there's
Speaker 3: a lot of things Hendrix going on right now. And
Speaker 3: let me tell you, I love Jimmy Hendrix and I
Speaker 3: find it fascinating that he's been gone out. He left
Speaker 3: us fifty years ago at age twenty seven, but here
Speaker 3: fifty years later, a twenty seven year old has basically
Speaker 3: influenced every rock musician out there, and we're still celebrating
Speaker 3: the man and his music every single year thanks to
Speaker 3: folks like you. I find it fascinating he made that
Speaker 3: much of an impression and we only had him twenty
Speaker 3: seven years. What are your thoughts on that, John.
Speaker 6: Well, I think you hit it right of the head.
Speaker 6: I mean, he packed a lot of living into a
Speaker 6: four year career. You think about it from nineteen sixty
Speaker 6: sixty seventy, and you know there's something about Jimmy Hendrick.
Speaker 6: He didn't give a lot of interviews. He was a
Speaker 6: quiet guy. He was really the antithesis of what you
Speaker 6: saw on stage. You know, didn't chase celebrity. He really
Speaker 6: wasn't that guy. So there's this air of mystery about him.
Speaker 6: And I also think we're lucky that he didn't really
Speaker 6: come to popularity during you know, the video MTV E
Speaker 6: because you know, then at that point, a video defines
Speaker 6: you forever. What's so great about Jimmy is that every
Speaker 6: generation makes a direct connection to him. It could be
Speaker 6: wearing the shirt, could be seeing you know, pictures of him.
Speaker 6: It could be hearing his music in a movie or
Speaker 6: on the radio, or in a television commercial, anything like
Speaker 6: that that brings you to this authentic, original guy. And
Speaker 6: you know, as you say, fifty plus years later, you know,
Speaker 6: like the Beatles, like led Zeppelin, it endures because of
Speaker 6: the quality and the uniqueness. And today where you've got
Speaker 6: kids looking on their phone, you know, trying to find
Speaker 6: out about music. You know, they don't know that it's
Speaker 6: nineteen sixty seven to them, Jimmy Hendricks is a singular,
Speaker 6: unique artist. He's cool. They add him to the playlist.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And one of the things fascinating about yourself is
Speaker 3: not only are you working with the family for the
Speaker 3: past three decades, I want to get into that. But
Speaker 3: you also four books. You've authored four books pretending to
Speaker 3: Jimmy Hendrix. One of them is called Sitting the Record Straight, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, Chas Chandler, the man who discovered Jimmy
Speaker 3: Hendrix and managed him, helped produce The Legendary Guitarists. He says,
Speaker 3: it's the best book written about Jimmy. What are some
Speaker 3: of the things that you can set the record straight
Speaker 3: when it comes to Jimmy Hendrix, because, like you just said,
Speaker 3: he didn't do a lot of television, radio interviews, interviews.
Speaker 3: It's quite mysterious. I know. There's one story that Lemmy
Speaker 3: Killmister from Motorhead says that he was he was a
Speaker 3: roadie for Jimmy Hendrix an interviewer interview. He said, well
Speaker 3: you can't. You know, people say you can't trip on
Speaker 3: LSD two days in a row. But he said he
Speaker 3: learned that he can because he had to get it
Speaker 3: for Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy said, just double the dose
Speaker 3: and ob no problem. Was the drug use really that
Speaker 3: prevalent with Jimmy Hendrix.
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I think I think contextually, you know,
Speaker 6: if you think about the contemporaries that he was with.
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think that Brian Jones or Keith Richards.
Speaker 6: I mean, there are all kinds of folks you can
Speaker 6: point two that probably probably had uh. You know, I
Speaker 6: always say based on the people that I talked to
Speaker 6: that had a close association, you know that aren't you know,
Speaker 6: kind of dipping into hyperbole like like like Lemmy might
Speaker 6: be doing. There is that you know, he did less
Speaker 6: drugs than you thought, had way more sex than you thought,
Speaker 6: and he was a lot smarter than you thought.
Speaker 3: Oh, guy was brilliant, not to mention. I mean he
Speaker 3: was in Fort Campbell right here in Kentucky, hundred first airborne.
Speaker 3: I mean, just a fascinating life packed into just twenty
Speaker 3: seven years. Out of your book, What is uh, what
Speaker 3: is one thing you would like to set the record
Speaker 3: straight on Jimmy Hendrix.
Speaker 6: Well, I think he was a very loyal guy. He
Speaker 6: was somebody that had had a really hard upbringing, you know,
Speaker 6: in terms of poverty and you know, trying to you know,
Speaker 6: his dad was brought him up essentially as a single dad.
Speaker 6: His mom passed in the fifties. I think it was
Speaker 6: you know, it was a difficult time for them financially,
Speaker 6: and I think, you know, he went left Seattle and
Speaker 6: went into the US Army, was a paratrooper at Fort Campbell.
Speaker 6: But you know, this is a guy who is the
Speaker 6: most creatively free artist I think I've ever come across.
Speaker 6: You know, when he started in Fort Campbell and left
Speaker 6: and went to Nashville to it was to really join
Speaker 6: the Chitlin circuit, and you know, thinking that was the path.
Speaker 6: And when that didn't work, he went to New York
Speaker 6: and was a sideband for groups like the Issy Brothers
Speaker 6: and Joey d and you know, again he wanted more.
Speaker 6: And so you know, he said, okay, I'll go to
Speaker 6: Greenwich Village. There's a scene there. He goes there and
Speaker 6: he's struggling. There. Chas Chandler of the Animals meets and says,
Speaker 6: I'll take you to England. He said, okay, I'll go there.
Speaker 6: So I think he was so determined to you know,
Speaker 6: find his path in music that he was willing to
Speaker 6: really do anything. He wanted the opportunity to record, He
Speaker 6: wanted the opportunity to express himself. And that that I
Speaker 6: found fascinating. I mean, never relented. He could have taken
Speaker 6: the easy road, been a sideman for other artists, and
Speaker 6: you know, we never would have understood him in the
Speaker 6: manner in which we do now. But he was determined
Speaker 6: to make his way.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember that. Didn't he auditioned for I'm
Speaker 3: going to get this wrong, John. Was it the Monkeys
Speaker 3: or no? No.
Speaker 6: What's hilarious is that when he came back to America.
Speaker 6: You know, Paul McCartney had recommended to the folks putting
Speaker 6: on the Monterey Pop Festival that you've got to have
Speaker 6: Jimmy Hendrix. He was He had blown up in England.
Speaker 6: Everybody loved him there. He you know, he and the
Speaker 6: experience came back to Monterey and his manager, Michael Jeffrey
Speaker 6: thought that, well, you know, the Monkeys, they're they're really popular,
Speaker 6: and Dick Clark is doing this tour and he's a
Speaker 6: big name in music, and we'll put the band on there. Well,
Speaker 6: of course it was a terrible fit. He did eight
Speaker 6: show and it came undone pretty quickly. But you know,
Speaker 6: the Monkeys did treat Jimmy really, really well, but it
Speaker 6: just wasn't a fit for that audience. They had no
Speaker 6: idea what he was bringing to the stage.
Speaker 3: I want to get. I want to get back to
Speaker 3: your books here in a second, but I got to
Speaker 3: get to the twenty twenty five experience Hendrix's tour, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, a couple of local dates you might
Speaker 3: want to go ahead and pencil in right now. The
Speaker 3: Taft Theater at Cincinnati, Ohio. That's going to be March eleventh,
Speaker 3: right around the corner. And then also Indianapolis twentieth Indianapolis, Indiana,
Speaker 3: the twentieth of the Maraud Theater. And this is when
Speaker 3: hell of a show has been going on for years,
Speaker 3: and just just like I was saying, we're still celebrating
Speaker 3: the man, We're still celebrating the music and artists vary
Speaker 3: from city to city, but name some of the artists
Speaker 3: we get on this tour because people line up to
Speaker 3: go on this thing.
Speaker 6: Well, you do you know, just an idea that I
Speaker 6: had twenty years ago, and Jamie Hendricks and I have
Speaker 6: been putting it together. It's not something we do every year.
Speaker 6: We actually have and done it since twenty nineteen. And
Speaker 6: you know, it's a presence, it's a celebration of Jimmy
Speaker 6: Hendrix's music. That's really the best way to do it.
Speaker 6: It's a collaborative thing. You know, people are playing together.
Speaker 6: It's not a free wheeling jam session or anything like that.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's also not like a Beatlemania thing where
Speaker 6: people are dressing up as Jimmy. It's not that at all, right,
Speaker 6: But it's people like Marcus King, like Duisel Zapple, like
Speaker 6: Kenny Wayne Shephard, like Zach Wilde. I mean, who are
Speaker 6: really you know, are diverse in their own music, but
Speaker 6: yet still feel the hendricks influence. And there's something cool
Speaker 6: about having everything from the blues to metal in a
Speaker 6: show like that where the common denominator is Hendrick song.
Speaker 6: So yeah, we just felt that, you know, we don't
Speaker 6: have a living artist to represent. We have these great
Speaker 6: songs and by sharing them and celebrating them that we
Speaker 6: feel helps to keep the music going.
Speaker 3: You got to be honored, John, that the Hendrix family
Speaker 3: gave you the nod when it comes to helping out
Speaker 3: with this and all the other projects, because for over
Speaker 3: three decades you've been doing that, and most recently you
Speaker 3: have a book out with his sister, Jimmy's sister. But
Speaker 3: how did how did you get into this? How did
Speaker 3: you get connected with the family and what the you know,
Speaker 3: how did you get this gig? Because I got to think.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I worked in music, you know, writing
Speaker 6: and producing and you know, directing and producing video and
Speaker 6: films and things of that nature. You know, when Eddie
Speaker 6: and I wrote the book Hendrick Setting the Record Straight,
Speaker 6: the next thing that we did the following year, in
Speaker 6: ninety three, is we created a tribute record with Felix
Speaker 6: Carkano Cole Stone Free Attributed to Jimmy Hendrix, which had
Speaker 6: Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and Pearl Jimmin's soundguard, and
Speaker 6: Buddy Guy, all these wonderful artists covering Jimmy and the
Speaker 6: purpose of the record was to establish scholarships in Jimmy's
Speaker 6: name at the Natio College Fund, and that still continues
Speaker 6: today from that one one record. And when we finished
Speaker 6: that record, we thought we had done Jimmy. Well, Eddie
Speaker 6: and I went back to our own projects. But I
Speaker 6: had heard that the Hendricks family's lawyer was trying to
Speaker 6: sell their catalog out from under them. Jimmy was one
Speaker 6: of the rare artists who owned his own masters and
Speaker 6: publishing and his songs. So you know, I volunteered during
Speaker 6: that time to assist them, had a great team of
Speaker 6: attorneys working with them as well, and you know, by
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety five they had won everything back and asked
Speaker 6: me to come on board. And it's a wonderful it's
Speaker 6: been a wonderful opportunity for me. I've loved it. It's
Speaker 6: you know, I often laugh, it's the greatest job you
Speaker 6: could have. But you know, it just was something that
Speaker 6: that what a challenge and what an honor to be
Speaker 6: able to present, you know, this great artist music in
Speaker 6: a way that we hope, you know, on a global basis,
Speaker 6: gives people a deeper appreciation and understanding of this true
Speaker 6: original guy.
Speaker 3: I find a fascinating and sad if this number is accurate,
Speaker 3: because we're talking about a guy that dies at twenty
Speaker 3: seven years old fifty years ago and influenced everybody. But
Speaker 3: the time of the death, only one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars was his net worth. Did he get taken
Speaker 3: to the cleaners like so many artists by the record companies.
Speaker 6: Well, no, you know what's interesting about Jimmy is that,
Speaker 6: you know when he passed, he was asset rich, cash poor.
Speaker 6: I mean, he was the first artist to fund and
Speaker 6: own a commercial recording studio. So you know, in nineteen
Speaker 6: sixty nine when Construction Electric lay started, you know, he
Speaker 6: was the top grossing concert act in the world. The
Speaker 6: Beatles were no longer touring, Bob Dylan, they weren't touring.
Speaker 6: Jimmy was the man. He headlined all festivals like Woodstock
Speaker 6: and Atlanta Pop. He was the guy. But you know
Speaker 6: he was funding that himself. And when you know, when
Speaker 6: the studio cost overruns came in, he went to Warner
Speaker 6: Brothers and took an advance against his royalties and had
Speaker 6: started making payments on that loan by the summer of
Speaker 6: nineteen seventies. So you know, he he had the ability
Speaker 6: to make a tremendous amount of money. But you know,
Speaker 6: back at that time, you didn't go to a bank.
Speaker 6: Jimmy Hendricks couldn't walk into a Chase Bank and get
Speaker 6: a loan, you know what I mean. So what he
Speaker 6: was doing was he was going out playing a concert
Speaker 6: at the La Forum, coming back with shopping bags full
Speaker 6: of cash, paying carpenters. It just was there was a
Speaker 6: wild West element to it at that time. There's you know,
Speaker 6: when Jimmy Herricks became famous, there were a lot of
Speaker 6: people who came out of the woodwork and sued him
Speaker 6: and made problems for him. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 6: That always happens in the music industry. Sadly it is
Speaker 6: you know, even to this day, that kind of thing
Speaker 6: still happens. But he just, you know, his death came
Speaker 6: at a time when he was right in the middle
Speaker 6: of a lot of things that were important to him.
Speaker 6: But he just you know, he wasn't sitting on a
Speaker 6: mountain of cash. But as I say, you know, he
Speaker 6: owned his own things. Even when he toured, he was
Speaker 6: you know, he was making ninety cents on the dollar.
Speaker 6: He was one of the first artists to get a
Speaker 6: hold of merchandise and control it in a way that
Speaker 6: the Beatles, for example, had never been able to do.
Speaker 6: So he was, you know, he had the opportunity had
Speaker 6: he lived, to have made a great deal of money.
Speaker 3: He's Josh McDermott for the three decades, over three decades,
Speaker 3: catalog director for Jimmy Hendrick's Family. Go out and see
Speaker 3: this tour, Cincinnati, Ohio, March eleventh, Indianapolis on March twenty, Hey, John,
