The Image Makers – the Artistry of Manuel and Cambridge Jones

November 1st to November 29th

The Image Makers – the Artistry of Manuel and Cambridge Jones an exclusive exhibition of works from award winning British photographer Cambridge Jones’ upcoming coffee table book on Manuel, the legendary couturier to the stars. Jones is in the process of creating a unique collection of portraits featuring the iconic designer’s high profile clients wearing their favorite Manuel creation.

Jones, a celebrity in his own right has photographed four British Prime Ministers, The Queen, and everyone who is anyone from Sir Anthony Hopkins to James Bond. Some of his recent work resides in The Queen's private Library at Windsor Castle. Educated at Oxford University (Honors Degree in Politics, Philosophy & Economics) his commercial work centers primarily on the music business, politicians and actors.

Manuel, universally known for his exquisite diverse custom creations is more than a clothing designer. An image-maker, he put Johnny Cash in black, the Lone Ranger in a mask, and Elvis in a jump suit. He has dressed just about every country star to come out of Nashville and beyond. From Dwight Yoakam to Dolly Parton, Keith Urban to Kenny Chesney, the list is endless.

Dylan and White at the Ryman Singing "One More Cup of Coffee"

One More Cup of Coffee- Bob Dylan and Jack White at the Ryman in Nashville

Elvis Costello and Jack White with Bob Dylan in Nashville

Elvis Costello and the White Stripes' Jack White made surprise appearances during Bob Dylan's Wednesday night, September 19, concert at the Ryman Auditorium. Although he and Dylan are officially scheduled to begin a tour together on Saturday, September 22, in Duluth, Ga., Costello told the crowd he asked to open the show after learning Dylan was playing at the Ryman.



Opening with "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes," Costello walked onstage unannounced and performed a nine-song acoustic set that included "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" and "Veronica." During Dylan's set, White showed up with an electric guitar and sang "Meet Me in the Morning," a song from Dylan's Blood on the Tracks album. After White provided the lead vocals for most of the song, Dylan joined him at the microphone for the final verse.



The White Stripes last week canceled all of their tour dates through the end of the year after announcing that drummer Meg White is unable to travel because of acute anxiety. Jack White produced Loretta Lynn's critically-acclaimed album, Van Lear Rose, released in 2004.

Wayfaring Stranger by Jack White

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world alone
There is no sickness, toil or danger
In that fair land to which I go

I'm going home
To see my mother
I'm going home
No more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I know dark clouds will hover on me,
I know my pathway is rough and steep
But golden fields lie right before me
Where weary eyes no more will weep
I'm going home to see my father
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

I'll soon be free from every trial
This form will rest beneath the sun
I'll drop the cross of self-denial
Come back home with God
I'm going home to see my savior
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home

Jack White Interview from Pitchfork

Pitchfork: How's the Nashville skyline tonight?

Jack White: Looking real good.

Pitchfork: Enjoying living there?

White: Very much. The best thing I ever did.

Pitchfork: You don't miss Detroit?

White: Not really. There's some really nice buildings in Detroit, and I miss some of those.

Pitchfork: Was it always going to be Nashville?

White: I wanted to be somewhere down in the south. I looked around Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and it just felt right in Nashville. It kept calling out to me for some reason, so I didn't fight it.

Pitchfork: You played the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville recently, and it was the first White Stripes show since December 2005. Was it like getting back on a horse or were you a bit rusty?

White: It was a little of everything. Some things came completely natural and some things I had to think, "How did we do this again?" We just needed to get out there and do one. We'd been rehearsing with a new crew and new gear and all these new songs, of course. So we said, "Let's just play a show and get this out of our system." It's a lot different to rehearsing where you stop to get a drink of water or go to the bathroom. We needed an actual show to jolt us into being where we're used to being.
