Topic: Favorite CD/Album cover?

I don't think I've ever seen anything here discussing Joe's cd/album covers.
What's your favorite?

Sloe Gin (in a landslide) for me.

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Tough one!! I really like "You & Me" "Sloe Gin" and "Dust Bowl", but I'd say my favorite is "You & Me"

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

I'd go Dust Bowl as well (also my favorite JB album - coincidence?).

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Ok Bill, something of Joe's I have a clear favorite of!  Thanks for the topic. 

A New Day Yesterday (in a blizzard) for me.  The clouds, the sky, the as of yet unexploded transformers in a small town New York town...It just means a beginning...it means home.  cool

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Have to call it a tie between You & Me and Sloe Gin. Both covers were done by Dennis Friel, thus the similarities and for those that don't read liner notes, You & Me was inspired by a photo by Melissa Durse, a Buckeye!!! LOL!

Really like the cover of Live from Nowhere in Particular.  Great shot of Joe.  You & Me is great as well, love the treatment they gave to the photo.

You beat me to it. I'm with you on Live from Nowhere in Particular also. I also think so it's like that is clever too. big_smile

Dennis did a whole lot of the covers and I am always amazed at the variety of styles he comes up with.
I would have to say that Sloe Gin is definitely the stand out winner for me too. Driving Toward the Daylight knocked me off my socks too. I have a great appreciation for You and Me and think its very cool.
Black Rock is very attractive and makes a great shirt.
So, Its Like That isn't that 'pretty' but when I see it, I can't help but think of how beautiful it is because of what's contained within, then I giggle...Soap it Like That,lol.
I have copies that are faded, coffee stained, wine stained, tear stained, that have road rash, wrinkles and rips, and it still is a sight for sore eyes each time.

but yeah Sloe Gin!!!


Oh but wait. The cover for the Color and Shape is noteable. Not that pretty either but something about it......and good friend who started this thread hooked me up with that. I actually thought of using it as a tattoo design. I  don't have any but I think of them. Not colors I would want as a tattoo though. I will try to scan it in sometime to show you guys.

and HTCT makes me daydream.

but Sloe Gin is the fav

Jane, your mention of Black Rock may have spawned another topic!
I agree that it is a great t-shirt and may be my favorite. Part of it is it is very simple and has the cover print on the front and simple, unassuming lettering on the back. I wear the shirt as much as any other.

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

I love them all...too much like choosing a favorite kid, for me.

But Dust Bowl is right up there, very evocative artwork.

Play like you've worked at it, and don't worry about sounding like your influences.  You can't cheat on them, or your practice, anyway.  If you've worked hard at your skill, your audience will know it.

Being a car guy I really like D T Daylight but Dust Bowl is really cool.  The DVD cover from the Live Albert Hall however is my favorite.

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

another vote for Dustbowl here, - could this thread be set up with a vote facility?

For me it is the visualisation of one of the best books ever written.
