I knew Isaak would be an impressive vocalist, but it was his guitarist Jimmy Wilsey who electrified the crowd with his combo of dreamy fills and stunning rockabilly blasts. Wilsey’s tragic story is told in this absorbing biography of “The King of Slow” and his wild times. Goldberg has written both the tale of one man’s talents and addictions and a cultural history of the Bay Area punk rock scene. Before joining Isaak, Wilsey played with the legendary Avengers at primal venues The Mabuhay Gardens, Boarding House and The Stone, and opened for The Sex Pistols at Winterland. As an EMT told him during one of his many health crises: “If you want to get better, you have to participate in your recovery.” – Mark Leviton, Pet Sounds, Mondays 2pm-4pm
