There’s a great story in Across The Great Divide, about how the Band hooked up with photographer Elliott Landy.

black joe lewis & the honeybears @ local 506
Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears were great last night — if you’re into neo soul, R&B or funk, pick up their full-length debut Tell ’em What Your Name Is! — but I’m disappointed with my shooting. Tons of movement combined with the 506’s reversion to a big sucking black hole, and 2/3rds of what…
