Born in 1941 and raised in rural New Jersey, Jim McGuire nurtured a love of hillbilly music at an early age. His first photographs were made as an Air Force photographer in Vietnam in 1964. Before moving to Nashville in 1972, he had a studio in New York City for seven years. Since then he has photographed more than 400 album covers and hundreds of black-and-white portraits of Nashville musicians spanning thirty-five years. (A traveling exhibition of the “Nashville Portraits” is currently making the rounds.) He has a passion for vintage woodie station wagons that he restores and drives and for horse racing, not necessarily in that order. When not at the track, McGuire shares a downtown loft in Nashville with his dog Django.
