Wicked Game: The True Story of Guitarist James Calvin Wilsey (HoZac Books) by author Michael Goldberg tells the heartbreaking story of a San Francisco legend: guitarist Jimmy Wilsey. It was Wilsey who wrote and played the guitar parts for the Chris Isaak hit "Wicked Game" and, as even Isaak has acknowledged, Wilsey was key to that song reaching #6 in the U.S. top 10 in 1991, selling millions of copies and streaming over 300 million times.
"I could see the heartbreaking arc of his life from beginning to end. I felt like I understood him. That is an astounding accomplishment for any biographer, and a gift to all of Jimmy's fans." -- Lewis Shiner
In conversation with Robert Duncan, an American music critic, author, and entrepreneur.
