“A standout among country music books,” says Rolling Stone of Songwriter Musician. Ed Rode’s lens captures Nashville’s icons and underdogs with equal heart.
Emmy-Winner Filmmaker Ben Staley joins Ed Rode for an exclusive conversation on Songwriter Musician.
“Ed Rode brings Country Royalty and its behind-the-scenes-creators into focus. The portraits bring depth to a range of familiar artists and not-so-public songwriters and musicians.”
“Each portrait captures the subject, their humanity and their artistry as Rode’s accompanying personal stories and biographies seek to place each moment, and each subject, into the broader story of Music City.”
“His photographs go beyond the image itself; they tell stories about the musicians’ dedication and passion for music.”
“Pictures worth a thousand songs… Rode finds himself chasing the moment within the moment, capturing something the audience doesn’t often get to see within a public-facing event.”
“Rode’s images offer an intimate look at the heart and soul of music through the writers behind some of the world’s best-loved songs.”
“Hear Ed Rode reflect on capturing Nashville’s songwriting legends—now on display.”
“You’ve documented the people behind the songs that define our lives. That’s why this book is so important.”
