Reviews of "Hurricanes of Color"
“Mike Frankel’s keen eye manages to capture the essence of rock ’n roll in all its sexually charged, mysterious, and hallucinatory intensity. His images are unsparing and authentic.”—Bob Spitz, best-selling author of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin
“Some of the top rockers of the 1960s and early 1970s, photographed with boldly adventurous techniques reflecting the most exhilarating innovations of the era.”—Richie Unterberger, author of Won’t Get Fooled Again: The Who from “Lifehouse” to “Quadrophenia”
“It’s old news that the 1960s and ’70s were an explosive and revolutionary cultural period—especially in music—but those words say way too little. Rarely has the phrase ‘you had to be there’ been more apt, and most literary and photographic attempts to illustrate the excitement and heady thrill of the new bands and other sea changes in flux fall short. In Hurricanes of Color, though, Mike Frankel succeeds in evoking the transcendence, wild creativity, and sheer joy that permeated so much of the era and radiated through the musicians and their performances. I know because I was there, and I am so honored to be included in this stunning book.”—Sally Mann Romano, author of The Band’s with Me: TOUR 1964-1975
