Book Nook: Rock and Roll Stories, by Lynn Goldsmith

Lynn Goldsmith has spent the last 40 years taking classic photographs of some of our greatest music legends. Goldsmith's work reads like a Who's Who of Modern Music. She has taken photos of hundreds of music legends ranging from  The Rolling Stones to David Byrne to Patti Smith to Bruce Springsteen,  The Police, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, The Go-Gos, James Brown, Bob Dylan, Blondie, The Beastie Boys, and Michael Franti, to name just a few.

In "Rock and Roll Stories" we see hundreds of these iconic photos. The frosting on this photographic cake are the stories Goldsmith shares about her life and the photo sessions that yielded so many of these classic images.

In this interview the author talks about some of her memories and reveals that one of her favorite musical projects; Will Powers, is coming back again soon to provide renewed inspiration for audiophiles everywhere.
