Tony Levin Unveils “Images From a Life on the Road” Book
Tony Levin is one of the most talented bassists in the world. He also has a knack for photography, which he’s used to document his time in music. Now, he’s announced a photography book called Images from a Life on the Road that brings the two passions together.
The 240-page book features 247 photos of 81 artists in both color and black and white. That includes photos from his work with King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Stick Men, Paul Simon, Sting, Seal, and more.
“Photos featured in the book are presented not as a history or a journal of tours, but as a journey itself – a visit to life on the road, with chapters of Travel, Backstage, Going On, Showtime, Bows, and there is an extensive ‘Index & Elaborations’ with stories behind the pictures,” liner notes explain.
Hear more about the book from Levin himself:
Images From a Life on the Road is available for pre-order in a limited hardbound edition and a paperback edition. The hardbound edition will ship in February with the softbound copy coming in January.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
Posting this now is kind of to late. The hardcover edition sold out in 3 days. Very disappointing.
