Ryan Adams & the Cardinals: A View of Other Windows
I was amazed at the intimacy of this book. Ryan Adams and the Cardinals are a HUGELY popular band. You've heard their music, seen them on the Tonight Show and Letterman and listened to them in movies, but some people don't know them by name. Even if you're not one of the people who offered me $300 for a $40 ticket to one of their shows once, you will be amazed by the truth the pictures in this book tell about life in a major rock band.
Guitarist Neal Casal's voice, guitar and musicianship is second to none, but here, his eye for the visceral is on display. From the moment he first joined the band, he had the foresight to record as many moments as possible with his camera. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE IN THE BAND doing this! That makes this a one-of-a-kind look at what it takes to make the music we love. You'll never take your favorite band for granted again.
The visuals are breathtaking and the captions are so honest that you feel, at times, like you're eavesdropping. I think this is one of the best photo books I've ever seen, and as a creative director I've seen plenty. If you've ever wanted to be in a band, you may change your mind when you read this. Or you may not. It's difficult, rewarding and tragic life depicted in these pages. To tell that story from the point of view of the one who lived it and not some hanger-on is rare, inspirational and raw genius. If I could, I would "go to eleven" stars.
A forward by Ryan Adams, an afterward by Phil Lesh and photos by Neal Casal! With that, I highly recommend A View of Other Windows.
