Review

"Buckland presents a very appealing collection of photography associated with rock and, doing so, spotlights the photographers who did so much, however inadvertently, to transform the genre...."

Publisher's note

The first book to explore the extraordinary work of the photographers who with their spectacular images captured the energy, intoxication, rebellion, and magic of rock and roll.
"Who Shot Rock & Roll "brings together two hundred photographs, including many rare and never-before-seen images: searing, sensual, luminous, and often iconic portraits; album covers; behind-the-scenes and live concert shots. Here is Elvis in 1956--not yet mythic but already beautiful, tender, and sexy--photographed by Alfred Wertheimer . . . Bob Dylan and girlfriend on a snowy Greenwich Village street, by Don Hunstein . . . John Lennon in sleeveless New York City T-shirt, by Bob Gruen . . . Jimi Hendrix, by Gered Mankowitz, a photograph made into a poster that hung on the walls of millions of bedrooms and college dorms . . .
With text and captions by Gail Buckland, who writes about the photographs and the men and women who took them; about how they saw what they saw and captured what they did: the spirit and essence of rock.

A former curator of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain presents a chronicle of rare and previously unseen images marking more than half a century of rock-and-roll history, in a tribute to star performers and leading photographers that also includes album covers and live concert shots.

Annotation

The history of rock and roll is made up not only of famous songs, but of the iconic images that cemented musicians in the cultural consciousness forever. Gail Buckland's WHO SHOT ROCK AND ROLL features over 200 rock and roll photographs from 1955 to the present--indelible images of sexuality, sensitivity, and the wild life of musical history.
