NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ballast Books is proud to announce the release of Rock & Soul: Portraits by Barry Morgenstein, publishing on November 4, 2025. This stunning coffee table collection takes readers behind the flashbulbs and into the very heart of rock ’n’ roll.

Before he was behind the camera, Barry Morgenstein dreamed of being Jimmy Page. While that dream was already spoken for, Barry found his stage through photography, immortalizing the same icons he once idolized.

With grit and artistry, Morgenstein’s lens has captured legends from Elton John and Paul McCartney to Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Steven Tyler, and Chuck Berry. From smoky clubs to stadium arenas, his portraits are both timeless and electric, documenting not just what these artists looked like, but the soul they poured into their music.

Part memoir and part visual time capsule, Rock & Soul  is more than a coffee table book—it’s a backstage pass and a love letter to the music that defined generations.
