Watch Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin’, the New PBS Documentary (Free for a Limited Time)

Def­i­nite­ly worth a quick men­tion. For a lim­it­ed time, PBS is mak­ing avail­able its lat­est film from its great Amer­i­can Mas­ters doc­u­men­tary series. My Train A Comin’ traces Jimi Hen­drix’s “remark­able jour­ney from his hard­scrab­ble begin­nings in Seat­tle, through his stint as a US Army para­troop­er and as an unknown side­man, to R&B stars until his dis­cov­ery and ulti­mate inter­na­tion­al star­dom.” It fea­tures “pre­vi­ous­ly unseen footage of the 1968 Mia­mi Pop Fes­ti­val, home movies, and inter­views with those clos­est to Jimi Hen­drix.” From what we can tell, PBS will keep this film online for only a mat­ter of days. So watch it while you can.
