- Summary
- James Calvin Wilsey: He was the "heart and soul" of SF punk band the Avengers, and worked with Chris Isaak for over a decade before he crashed and burned. His hypnotic guitar riffs throughout "Wicked Game" made Chris Isaak an international star. His story is the story of San Francisco punk rock, the story of one of the greatest punk bands, the Avengers, "the story of every working musician," as Robert Duncan puts it, and the nightmare of drug addiction. Jimmy Wilsey's story is the story of the dark side of rock & roll. Includes over 100 photos and flyers by avant-garde artist Bruce Conner, Avengers singer/songwriter Penelope Houston, Blondie's Chris Stein, Ruby Ray, Chester Simpson, Sue Brisk, Marcus Leatherdale, Amy Starks, Michael Zagaris, Hugh Brown, James Stark, Jimmy Wilsey and others. Michael Goldberg will be donating 25% of his book royalties to Jimmy Wilsey's teenage son, Waylon James Wilsey. --From publisher's website
