Taking Aim: Unforgettable Rock 'n' Roll Photographs by Experience Music Project Staff, Graham Nash
5.0
There are so many beautiful and amazing photographs in this collection, capturing both the quiet moments and the intense performances. There's a great range of subjects too with everyone from John Lee Hooker to Fugazi and Ice-T to Ned's Atomic Dustbin. The only downside is that the words are entirely superfluous and add no additional insight to the images. Whilst the inclusion of a disc of Graham Nash talking is a nice thought, he has nothing of any consequence to say, and the amount of times he says "my friend..." or "Rock N Roll" can be quite off-putting, especially in his strange Blackpool meets America accent. Having said that though, it's not a book about words, it's a book about music and images, and these speak volumes.
