I’m originally from NJ so there are several things I’m partial to. The drive (at night) from Hoboken to the Jersey Shore, Bruce Springsteen (I think it’s a law), a good egg sandwich and Southside Johnny, not always necessarily in that order.
So it was both a blast and an honor to photograph Southside and design the package for his new CD “Pills and Ammo”. The disc is great-check it out.
Little did I know way back in 1980 when I saw Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes play in the gym at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Rutherford, NJ that I would later become friends with John. I’ve been lucky enough to have him play harp on both my CDs and then work with him on several CD packages including an earlier release of his “Messin’ With the Blues”.
C’mon John-lets do a vinyl package for “Pills and Ammo”!
A few more images from the shoot.
The egg sandwich at the Spa Diner in Hoboken, NJ. “The only place in town where you can get a pack of newports with your cheesecake.”
The ticket stub from the FDU show. (I save a lot of stuff.)
