ReviewsThis book is a treasure--McGuire's pictures do everything except burst into song." Mark Knopfler You can almost hear these pictures, can't you?" Roy Blount Jr. One of the best photographic shows you will ever see. . . . This is great stuff. See if, if you possibly can." Chet Flippo CMT/CMT.com Editorial Director At first glance, there seems to be something very quiet and pensive about his black and white images. That's the way it has always been with McGuire's work. Yet, as we peer at them, we begin to hear the faint melodies of lives well lived. They are what McGuire has always done best. With his passion for music and for the musician, he makes these men and women come alive before us. And in that silence, they begin to sing and play for us again." Robert Hicks Author of The Widow of the South Looking at McGuire's portraits, we're able to grasp some essence of their creativity, to feel the mark that each has left on the city, and on musical history."
