“Photographer Linda Wolf, who joined the legendary Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour of 1970, captured it all, from ringmaster Leon Russell’s traveling band of more than 40 artists and maniacs, through a 2015 tribute to that tour by the Tedeschi-Trucks Band and Mad Dogs alumni. Besides stunning photos, on stage and behind the scenes, Linda provides oral histories, great stories from many of the players. Looking at the photos, especially of all the people traveling from one stop to another, I can’t help thinking of Almost Famous. In fact, THIS was the real Almost Famous.
Tribute: Cocker Power IS a tribute, and a lot more, not only to that tour, but also to those times.” — Ben Fong-Torres, American rock journalist, author, and broadcaster at Moonalice Radio
“It’s not just that her photos are iconic. They are so real. Linda Wolf has a way of capturing the essence of the center of a moment. I love stepping into her frame—there is nothing else. It’s so simple, she makes it look easy.”—June Millington, Fanny.
“When you look at this book you can see it is a labor of love... When you look at the photos both from the original 1970 Mad Dogs Tour and the 2015 reunion at Lockn’, and those she did later of our band on the road, you get the sense that everyone really trusts and opens up to Linda and that she is really in it. A lot of times I notice photos of us and I think they’re nice but I think but they don’t capture the sense of the people as I know them, but when I look at all the images in this book – the ones of Kofi or Sue or the people that I know intimately — I really feel them. Linda captures the real personal side of people and the vulnerable side a lot of times, as well. The photo she caught of Kofi and me with our eyes closed playing together in Portland, that’s the one I’ve been looking for since he passed. Those are the images that you say, ‘Yea, I knew that happened, I felt that.’ Those images hit home. Just like with the original photos from Mad Dogs you can tell that she is taking pictures of people she really cares about and she is going for the authentic moments. Linda’s photos have real heart to them, a real warmth that I appreciate and am honestly moved by. I can’t wait to hold this book and dig into it when it’s out.”
“When Leon Russell died, I saw Linda’s photograph of him and Joe in concert during the Mad Dogs Tour. That image is in The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. Rightly so. At age 19 (wrap your head around that!) she captured visually the music, the soul, the blues, the idealism of the time and, of Joe Cocker himself. Her images paint the inside of each musician, aptly conveying the passions of that slice of American history. — John R. Paddock, Ph.D., ABPP ”
