All
Access: The Rock and Roll Photography of Ken Regan
by Ken Regan [Music
789.166 qReg]
This coffee table size book is a well-photographed trip
through five decades of the music industry. As I turn each page I gasp in
amazement at the exquisite portraits and candids. The book is laced with Ken
Regan's stories about getting the photographs. One of the stories is about the
timely snowstorm that made sure that Regan was one of the few phototogs who made
it to Fort Dix, New Jersey to photograph Elvis Presley on the eve his discharge
from the army. Another story describes the best photo that he ever took of a
musician - Bob Dylan. There are many photos of a youthful Mick Jagger because he
was on five of the Stones tours. This is a stunning masterpiece. It's perfect
for rock fans, baby boomers who remember these performers when they were in
their prime and photographers who appreciate the effort that went into making
these photos. -- recommended by Donna G. - Virtual Services Department
