What The Reviewers Say

David Kirby,
Washington Post
... reading Gruen’s memoir, I got the impression that it takes a certain type to rise to the top in that profession.

Kirkus
While much of Gruen’s narrative, which is sometimes laid-back enough to be soporific, seems an exercise in name-dropping, there are a number of takeaways for aspiring rock chroniclers. Better yet, there’s a constant sense of awe that he’s walked among gods and goddesses for so long.

Publishers Weekly
Gruen chronicles his adventures as one of the preeminent photographers of rock and roll in his spectacular memoir.
