About this listen
1966. Jimmy James is a struggling guitarist, hungry and desperate enough to sign any contract for a meal—or a tab of acid. A year later, he's rock legend Jimi Hendrix, electrifying stages from Swinging London to Monterey Pop. But when a shady old contract surfaces, Hendrix finds himself pursued by ruthless Tin Pan Alley goombahs determined to cash in on his rising fame.
Think you know Jimi Hendrix? Think again.
From the author of the acclaimed Vampire of Siam trilogy comes an electrifying inside tale of rock’s greatest icon.

"I've read all the books, seen the movies, but I've never felt so close to Jimi as when reading this excellent inside story. Read it, relive the glory days, then pass it to your kids." —Alexander "Doctor Blues" Pithie, author
"Newport’s novels succeed in their purpose—they entertain." —The Nation
