Even if you don’t know legendary rock photographer Jim Marshall, you know his photographs: Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire onstage at Monterey, Johnny Cash flipping the bird onstage in Folsom Prison, Miles Davis boxing at Newman’s Gym, Jim Morrison taking a puff and more. Marshall’s book is filled with never-before-published images mixed with his classics, along with the stories behind them. Marshall explains his access to the biggest names in rock in the forward, “Whenever anyone asks me how I got the photographs I did, why I was often the only photographer present or got such unique access, I reply simply, ‘Trust.’ “
Photographs by Jim Marshall and editing by Dave Brolan.
