Book excerpt: In 1968 a young photographer named Robert M. Knight arrived in Seattle with a camera and a single roll of film to shoot local legend Jimi Hendrix. The photographs Knight took seized the uncanny energy of Hendrix, recording his primal performance and adrenaline driven solos that tantalised audiences. The iconic images Knight produced immortalised Hendrix and propelled Knight on a life-long pilgrimage as the photographic herald of rock and roll. Rock Gods is the rich visual universe, and sole volume, of Robert M. Knight's work, replete with visions of guitar gods, monumental performances, and earth shattering solos. His remarkable photos define generations of rock stars from the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin to Run DMC and Green Day.
