Hendrix published a biography of his brother titled Jimi Hendrix: A Brother’s
Story. It was co-written by Adam Mitchell and published by St. Martin’s Press.
Leon appeared in the 2004 documentary about his brother, Jimi Hendrix: By
Those Who Knew Him Best, that also featured musician Sammy
Drain and Octavia inventor Roger Mayer
“Leon vividly recounts Jimi’s tough childhood in Seattle, and his amazing rise
to fame. From Jimi’s experimentation with the sound and vibration of plucking
wires attached to the posts of their brass bed to the moment he picked up his
first stringed instrument, this is a fresh and personal look at an enduring icon
from the brother who was there from the beginning. Leon illuminates the
origin and meaning of classic Hendrix tunes, which Jimi would play for his
brother over the phone as he wrote them on the road. He also chronicles the
complicated Hendrix family dynamic, the culture of sex and drugs that came
with Jimi’s stardom, and his tragic death. This captivating account sheds new
light on rock and roll’s genuine legend”
