A Rock ‘n’ Roll Period Piece.
One year. 1966 to 1967. Struggling guitar player Jimmy James becomes Rock God Super Star Jimi Hendrix.
Like any starving musician Jimi would sign anything for the price of a square meal. Or a block of hash or a tab of acid.
While seducing Rock’s Royalty, one old contract comes back to haunt him and Jimi finds himself pursued by Tin Pan Alley
goombahs.
Thought you knew everything about Jimi Hendrix? Here’s a tale you never heard before.
From Swinging London to New York City to the Monterey Pop Festival... Everyone’s “CHASING JIMI”.
“I've read all the books, seen the movies, but I never felt so close to Jimi as I did reading this excellent inside story. Read it and remember the glory day...then give it to your kids.” Alexander (Doctor Blues) Pithie, author
“Newport’s novels succeed in their purpose... they entertain.” The Nation
Jim Newport is the author of the “VAMPIRE OF SIAM” trilogy - an epic tale that spans half the globe and a course of 150 years.
He is also an Emmy-nominated production designer of both film and television. His credits include Bangkok Dangerous, Brokedown Palace, The Shield, and LOST. His own magical experiences as a hippy in the ‘summer of love’ and a stint as a touring rock ‘n’ roll photographer in the seventies, served as the inspiration for “CHASING JIMI”
