Book excerpt: The impulse to doAMERICAN MUSIC, writes famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, “came from a desire to return to my original subject and look at it with a mature eye. Bring my experience to it…make it a real American tapestry.” Her ambitious idea becameAMERICAN MUSIC, a stunning collection of photographs of the musicians, places and people that enrich the landscape of American music. AsRolling Stone’schief photographer for over thirteen years, Leibovitz created a legendary body of work. Her portraits of some of the world’s most talented musicians capture more than the performer, they convey the art of making music.
