It's 1999, the year we were supposed to party, and in Smoking Jimi, former rock musician Chad Peery (Steppenwolf, Bob Welch) whips up a wild, 90's-flavored road adventure loaded with enough sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and over-the-top perversion to satisfy any craving. Smoking Jimi starts like a slow blues, and cranks up the volume for a smash-the-guitars, raucous ending. The van's ready, you coming?

Extended description

It's 1999, the year we were supposed to party, and with Smoking Jimi, former rock musician Chad Peery (Steppenwolf, Bob Welch) cooks up one wild, 90's-flavored road adventure stuffed with enough sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and over-the-top perversion to satisfy any craving. The recipe begins with Brad Wilson, a heart-broken, down-on-his-luck photographer who was once the guitarist and leader of a 70's band with a single hit record. Add to that the crooked manager who disappeared with their money and got the band blacklisted; stir in the bassist, who is now a monk at a hermitage; and then oh-so-carefully blend in the crazy drummer, a recluse living in a mountain cabin bristling with guns and posters. Broil these road warriors inside the gilded oven of an obscenely wealthy and highly perverse South American eccentric, and you have a full-flavored road adventure that starts off like a slow blues, and finishes with a full-blast, volume-on-11, head-thrashing, smash-the-guitars ending.

Review by: Hybernatiom on May 15, 2009 :
I don't give out many five-star ratings, but this one was really a gem. First of all, the author played bass with Steppenwolf, a band I have loved since I was 9 years old (and still listen to). This gave an incredible authenticity to the main character, a "has been" musician in 1999 who had been "almost famous" in the early seventies. There was a "jam scene" in this book that took me back YEARS and invoked the incredible and almost indescribable feeling of playing in a band and discovering the magic that comes with creative spontaneity. Aside from all that, the writing here was first-rate...very professional. The plot was clever and unpredictable, full of both wit and suspense, and always kept my interest. I'm looking forward to reading Chad Peery's other "Rock Fiction" book "Stealing Margo" soon.
