Nashville Portraits: Legends of Country Music Hardcover - 2007

by Jim McGuire (Photographer); Contribution by Richard Carlin; Introduction by William Ferris


From the publisher

Jim McGuire's photographs have graced the covers of more than 400 albums and CDs over the past thirty years. Most of the big recording stars insist on using McGuire: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Doc Watson, Dolly Parton, Carole King, Townes Van Zandt, John Hartford, Emmylou Harris and Reba McEntire, to name a few. Sixty of his these acclaimed portraits are slated for a two-year-long traveling museum exhibit that opens in Nashville in the Fall of 2007, sponsored by the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta. This book features the photos in beautiful duotones on heavy stock paper, each with a quote from one of the Nashville musicians talking about the beauty of McGuire's work. This landmark gift book will appeal to anyone who appreciates American artistry, whether or not they love country music.
