A bottle of Jack in the picture — an open collection

This page brings together photographs of musicians with a bottle of Jack Daniel's in the frame, gathered for your collection. It began with Bob Gruen's photograph of Keith Richards and Tina Turner at The Ritz, which you acquired from us in 2022.

The collection stays open. We will keep adding photographs as we find them in the archives we work with, and we will write to you personally each time a new one is confirmed.

First findings

Bob Gruen's studio went through his archive and found these photographs with a bottle of Jack Daniel's in the frame, and we added one from Allan Tannenbaum's archive. Some of them exist as vintage prints. Print details, dates and availability for each one are available on request.

The Rolling Stones

Danceteria, 1980, and Mick on stage

In July 1980 Bill Wyman, Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards went to Danceteria in New York to promote Emotional Rescue. Bob Gruen and Allan Tannenbaum both photographed them on the same sofa, Keith's bottle at hand. And Mick Jagger on stage in 1975, bottle in hand.
