Review: Right Place, Right Time: The Life of a Rock Roll Photographer

Right Place, Right Time: The Life of a Rock  Roll Photographer Right Place, Right Time: The Life of a Rock Roll Photographer by Bob Gruen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you love rock and roll, then you probably love the work of Bob Gruen, whether you know it or not. Gruen is one of the top 60s-80s rock photographers in the world, taking shots of everyone from John and Yoko to Green Day. In this book, he not only talks about how he found himself in this career but also the stories behind many of his famous photos.

What I like most about this book is that it doesn't skimp on the photos (even in the ARC). There are only one or two instances out of the whole book where Gruen describes a photo that does not follow on the next page, and this only happens when he's describing someone else's photos.

Whether you love one rock star or all of them, this is a must-have if you want some behind-the-scenes details on 20th century rock.
