Weldon Owen The Band Photographs, 1968-1969: Two-Volume Set: With a Foreword by Eric Clapton and an Introduction by Bruce Springsteen

The life and sound of late-1960s rock sensation The Band come to life in this stunning music photography book. Elliott Landy, a premier photographer of the rock and roll era, captured the group during an unforgettable year as they created their first two albums, Music from Big Pink and The Band. The unique connection between a groundbreaking band, a fresh musical style, and the photographer who documented it all is revealed through bold, unforgettable images. With an intimate and relaxed approach behind the lens, Landy captured the essence of the young musicians in their natural surroundings as they discovered their distinctive Americana sound. Deeply trusted by The Band, Landy’s artistic eye reveals a rare and authentic view of their early years. Each image is set against memorable backdrops—from the salmon-colored house affectionately known as “Big Pink” to the rolling landscapes of Woodstock, New York, the creative heart of the era. This sleek photography book is both a visual time capsule and a must-have for every true rock and roll fan.
