American
Music: Photographs
by Annie Leibovitz
Book Description:
The impulse to do AMERICAN MUSIC, writes famed photographer Annie Leibovitz,
came from a desire to return to my original subject and look at it with
a mature eye. Bring my experience to it - make it a real American tapestry.
Her ambitious idea became AMERICAN MUSIC, a stunning collection of photographs
of the musicians, places and people that enrich the landscape of American
music.
As Rolling Stone's chief photographer for over thirteen years, Leibovitz
created a legendary body of work. Her portraits of some of the world's
most talented musicians capture more than the performer, they convey the
art of making music. For AMERICAN MUSIC, Leibovitz traveled across the
country to juke joints in the Mississippi Delta, honkytonks in Texas, and
jazz clubs in New Orleans to take pictures in places that mean something.
In her signature style, she shares stunning portraits of American greats
-- B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Beck, Bob
Dylan, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Steve Earle, Ryan Adams, Miles Davis,
Etta James, Pete Seeger, Emmylou Harris, Tom Waits, The Dixie Chicks, Dr.
Dre, The Roots and many more.
AMERICAN MUSIC includes a commentary about the American Music project
by Leibovitz, short essays by musicians Patti Smith, Rosanne Cash, Steve
Earle, Mos Def, Ryan Adams, and Beck as well as biographical sketches of
all the musicians.
