The Band Photographs, 1968-1969: Two-Volume Set

“I don’t believe there will ever be anything that even vaguely resembles that kind of musical unity again. Nor does there need to be. They said it all.” —Eric Clapton

“Suddenly, this music comes on, and everything changes. There was no other music like it at the time, and no other music like it to this day.” —Bruce Springsteen

The life and sound of the late-1960s rock sensation, The Band, are brought to life on the page with this stunning music photography book. Premier photographer of the rock and roll era, Elliott Landy, captured The Band for an unforgettable year as they created their first two albums, Music from Big Pink and The Band. The intriguing relationship between a band, the inception of a fresh sound, and the photographer who captured it all is chronicled on each page with bold, unforgettable images.

With his intimate and relaxed approach behind the lens, Landy captured the essence of the young band in their comfortable surroundings as they discovered their unique Americana sound. Landy’s artistic eye was deeply trusted and cherished by The Band. The engaging images featured on each page are set to memorable backgrounds, like the band’s salmon-colored house, affectionately called the “Big Pink”, and many natural landscapes around Woodstock, New York, the music and art mecca of the times. This sleek music photography book is a work of art and a must-have for every true rock and roll fan.
