Editorial Reviews
Review
"Timothy Kennedy's photos lovingly capture the intimacy of those glorious days when concerts were still intimate, when there was a close connection between the performer and the audience. While the intimacy may be gone, happily Kennedy's photos remain to remind us of how sweet it was." -- Baron Wolman (First chief photographer, ROLLING STONE) --Blurb
Kennedy's photos are as raw, primitive and pitiless as blues music itself. It's almost as if he descended Orpheus-like into the maw of the underworld to retrieve these images, into a place where light is minimal and distant. Anyone searching for the visual essence of rock will be served well by Midnight Son. The book's last three photos alone are worth the price of admission. -- Jarret Keene --Las Vegas City Life (July 20, 2006)
