Her images from Jamaica capture the rough environment that shaped and challenged these artists, and the unquenchable joy that filled their music. They're the next-best thing to listening.” — Richard Cromelin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring 1975 and 1976, renowned underground photo-journalist Kim Gottlieb,\u003cbr\u003eand her husband, Island publicity head Jeff Walker, documented what is now widely recognized as the Golden Age of reggae. Over two years of historic trips to Jamaica and exclusive meetings in Los Angeles, Kim took iconic photographs of the artists who would go on to define the genre and captivate a generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae features candid and intimate photographs of all of the musicians, artists and producers who brought the reggae sound to the international stage, including Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer,\u003cbr\u003eToots Hibbert, Burning Spear, Jacob Miller, Third World, Lee “Scratch” Perry and, of course, Bob Marley. Kim’s photographs include never-before-seen performance shots, candid behind-the-scenes footage of Bob’s home in\u003cbr\u003eJamaica, and exclusive records of key moments in reggae history, such as\u003cbr\u003eBob’s first US television appearance, the historical Dream Concert with\u003cbr\u003eStevie Wonder in Jamaica, and Bob meeting George Harrison backstage at the\u003cbr\u003eRoxy in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcclaimed rock journalist and director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous)\u003cbr\u003eintroduces this volume with a rousing foreword describing the time he accompanied Jeff and Kim to Jamaica to witness the burgeoning music scene there. Reggae historian Roger Steffens writes lucidly about the significance of those early years in reggae, and describes the pivotal moments documented in Kim’s photographs, many of which have not been seen in over 30 years, and many more of which have never been released to the public. Intimate and revealing, Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae is a rare and beautiful record of one of the most exciting moments in music history, told through the photographs of a true artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Titan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049957769456,"sku":"9781848566972","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848566972_p0.jpg?v=1763751310","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848566972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
