Between The Lines-Graham Nash

Unforgettable Rock 'n' Roll Photographs
Graham Nash
Chronicle Books
2009

In 2009, musician and renowned photographer Graham Nash was asked to curate an exhibit for the Experience Music Project of rock and roll photography. The results have been compiled into this magnificent coffee table book that would satisfy any fan of music. With no guidelines set, Nash has chosen images that are iconic and many that are somewhat obscure. There is a CD included that has Nash himself giving brief descriptions of each of the 80 images included in the book. While I personally would have liked more technical information, it is cool that you get to hear some of why he chose the picture.

Among the photos chosen:

Elvis Presley by Roger Marshutz (1956)

Bob Marley by Dennis Morris (1975)

Buddy Holly by Lew Allen (1958)

John Lennon by Annie Leibovitz (1980)

Johnny Cash by Jim Marshall (1969)
