Remembering Jesse Winchester on his birthday 🎂
📷 Chris Felver, New Orleans, 2011
"His songs were rooted in country, soul & gospel, & they strove to stay plain-spoken & succinct, whether he was singing wryly about everyday life or musing on philosophy & faith."

Richard Avedon wrote admiringly about his "photographs of falcons, camels & women striding parallel to the sea, unconcerned with his camera, freed by his dream of them." Image
