“Badlands” “Rattlesnake Speedway”
“Once I was shot by John Wayne…”
”And the western stars are shining bright again”
“There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor”
The first time I heard any of these lyrics I had never witnessed the desert southwest, I was living in a small city in NJ that was not much different than Freehold NJ.
Like with most of Bruce’s music a seed was planted,
I wanted to visit this desert place too,
to experience it & photograph it.
Now 50 years later & in celebration of Bruce’s 70th Birthday and new record I am happy share that experience -
and for a limited time you too can bring one of these images home with you.
