This chapter centers Hendrix’s contested US national identity and participation in a visual-cultural and popular musical Black Atlantic that has been confined within, while maneuvering beyond, the slave trade’s borders. Centering Hendrix within a legacy of black popular music’s transnational routes, this chapter highlights his musical and extra-musical roles as a transnational symbol. This chapter places Hendrix, and rock music more generally, in histories of the 1960s counterculture (especially the Woodstock Festival), US exceptionalist myths, and the cultural Cold War.

The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix

The Sixties: A Journal of History, Politics and Culture

Daniel R McClure

This article examines the role of Jimi Hendrix in the late 1960s as a vessel of the Black Atlantic, what Paul Gilroy describes as the counterculture to modernity. Placed against the backdrop of The Dick Cavett Show, a newly created talk show in 1969 hosted by the white liberal Dick Cavett, this article explores the dialogue between host and guitarist in an attempt to trace the longue durée assumptions and ideological patterns of modernity and its late 1960s repercussions at the end of the American Civil Rights movement. Using the theories of Gilroy, James Baldwin, Raymond Williams, and Jacques Attali, I outline how the two visits of Hendrix on The Dick Cavett Show were analogous to larger patterns coursing through American society as popular institutions such as television and film formed important bulwarks against not only the countercultural ideas of the 1960s, but the more radical sets of ideas that increasingly took aim at the institutional nature of US racial capitalism and modernity itself. While The Dick Cavett Show embodied the assimilation of aspects of cultural radicalism, the show also offered lessons on how institutions such as television used cultural radicalism as both a point of sale and a reflective other in rehabilitating the frayed edges of American truth-constructing processes. As a guest, Hendrix often provided answers to Cavett’s questions which frequently opened doors to implicitly anti-systemic – or anti-modern – discussions. As a host, Cavett’s reactions can be read as parrying these blows, using comedy and his persona as a Midwestern straight white man as the blunting instrument.

Jimi Hendrix’s 18 August 1969 performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair has been characterized as an expression of transcendent political resistance as well as crude anti-U.S. drivel. Drawing on Hendrix’s own archive of recordings, writings, interviews, stage banter, and especially live performances, this article analyzes Hendrix’s artistic engagement with the United States national anthem by locating his Woodstock Banner as a central moment in a two-year fascination with the song, brought to a close only by Hendrix’s untimely death. It presents the anthem as an artistic vehicle for Hendrix’s political musings, a thoughtful engagement with current events, and as commentary responsive to Hendrix’s immediate environment and expressive of his aspirations for the nation of his birth. Insights offered here include the roots of Hendrix’s Banner performances as ornaments to the Civil War eulogy “Taps,” the plural construction of the Hendrix Banner and an account of the aesthetic development of his anthem arrangement, the value of his recorded stage banter for understanding Hendrix’s Banner politics, the impact of the film Woodstock on Hendrix’s renditions, and the use of the Banner during Hendrix’s final 1970 “The Cry of Love Tour” as part of a closing anti-war set and call to action for the psychedelic citizen.

This chapter argues that contrary to conventional wisdom and the views of many scholars and critics, rock and roll’s most important rhythmic elements are derived from a complex blend of African, American, and European musical traditions. There is therefore no objective support for racialized characterizations of the “beat” that often serve, however unintentionally, to perpetuate stereotypes in discussions of both the genre and American popular music more
