Early in 2005 Jimi took on the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, in the Solo/Duo section. The Summer of ’05 brought Jimi to the US for a tour and he's working on a couple of recording projects, including a new blues album.

Jimi resides down under in Australians Victorian Coast, he is a prolific songwriter and performer. “Give Jimi Some Love!” contains nine original tunes and a Jimi makeover version “No Particular Place To Go” a Chuck Berry classic and T-Bone Walkers “Good Boy”. This album also features the awesome sounds of Jimi’s dad, Kevin Hocking, on piano duties.

Tracks:

1. Everybody's Clown – slow blues with some piano boogie and heck-of-a well delivered guitar solo.

3. No Particular Place To Go – an up tempo to Chuck’s classic swingin’ blues tune.

4. Blues At My House – another jazzy guitar track.

5. Look At The Damage (Free The Children) – an acoustic blues song.

6. Mr. Nobody – outstanding vocals. Latin guitar at start.

7. Collar Up - delta-like traditional acoustic number.

8. Credit Card Blues – a fast paced rockabilly blues song.

9. Good Boy – powerful electric blues and an excellent cover of T-Bones song..

10. Romance In Aisle 2 – good song, hard to describe. Man he was singing fast over the piano.

11. Boxing Gloves – Jimi saved the best for last!
