I really enjoyed this one, it was a fascinating look at the evolution of rock photography as well as the evolution of rock. I’m a big fan of rock and roll memoirs, and Bob Gruen’s offers all the delightful bits (behind the scenes views at stars, the origins of bands/genres) without many of negatives (addiction, violence, drugs) that seem to plague so many artists (and their memoirs).
The writing style is engaging and easy-going – it’s like listening to your cool relative tell stories about back in the day. I read it on kindle so the pictures were cool but not always that easy to see, fortunately Google was a quick solution to that – as is Bob’s website.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy.
