As a friend and cohort of some of rock music's biggest
legends - the Who, Rod Stewart, the Rolling Stones, the
Eagles, Joe Walsh, and countless others - photographer Tom
Wright was given unparalleled access to almost every aspect
of the musicians' lives, on- and offstage. Roadwork is a
compilation of over 200 of Wright's groundbreaking
photographs and the true stories behind the captivating
pictures that have earned him praise as "America's most
important documenter of the 1960s and 1970s rock 'n' roll
scene". Gritty and realistic, poignant and beautiful,
Wright's photos powerfully deconstruct the glamour of life
on the road, capturing the true essence of rock 'n' roll:
the musicians, the roadies, the fans, and the beautiful
women who voraciously followed these rock bands. Over the
years, Wright has allowed almost no commercial access to his
work; his photographs have been available to only the
musicians he's worked with and a handful of record company
executives ... until now. Roadwork offers a rare glimpse
into the extraordinary life and stunning art of Tom Wright,
the man Joe Walsh dubbed "the Jack Kerouac of rock 'n' roll."
