Rock photographer Linda Wolf has dug through her archives to produce Tribute: Cocker Power, a comprehensive visual diary celebrating the 50th anniversary of Joe Cocker’s historic Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour and tracing its legacy up to Tedeschi Trucks Band’s 2015 tribute concert at LOCKN’.
“How to describe the Joe Cocker Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour? A two-month traveling hippie circus that left hotel managers tearing their hair out, concert promoters screaming about a dog on stage, girls dancing naked on the rooftops of a New York city hotel, and forty-three people, including three kids and a five-person film crew, traveling together on a private jet that had COCKER POWER painted on it’s side,” Wolf recalls. “It was pure art and one of the greatest rock-and-roll tours of all time. Five decades later, the Tedeschi Trucks band took us back to the stage, honoring the legacy of Mad Dogs and Englishmen with one of the most powerful tribute concerts ever. This book is in honor of it all.”
Added Warren Haynes, “Linda’s book and the beautiful photos capture this magical experience and time period magnificently. The intimate access she had allows us not just behind the scenes but inside the scenes.”
