Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Dust Bowl - one of my favorite albums across the board, not just of JB's. And I think the art work was perfect for it - anyone know who painted the cover?

I'm also a big John Henry album fan - and I really like the way the CD looks like a vinyl record.

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

will go with Dust Bowl as well, with You & Me a close second. Just something about the DB art that is very surreal and a tad disturbing, reminds me a little of Edvard Munch's painting The Scream.

As corn through a goose, so are the days of our lives

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Favorite one is Dust Bowl, as well. Always thought Heavenly Soul would have gone well on Dust Bowl since the title, that cover picture and Heavenly Soul all evoke the "Grapes of Wrath"

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

What colour and the shape single????? I can find any information on the internet about it, could someone please tell me something about it, maybe post a picture of the album cover

joeb123 I will post that picture ASAP. I was having trouble with my scanner but then I realized I could take a photo of it. I think I got it on my home computer. its nice looking but not what really comes to my mind when I think about color and shape but its an interesting color with some nice shapes smile
and without it in front of me right now, I am petty sure it has 3 versions, very same, mainly 'radio edits' of Color and Shape, and I almost hesitate to mention this because its going to increase the demand but it also has 3 versions, again, radio edit type, of If Heartaches Were Nickels! its a special thing and I can actually listen to it on repeat because I can never get enough of my favorite songs. as soon as they are done I wnna hear it again with Color and Shape esp.
I got one off ebay once and a great Bonabuddy sent me one once. They rarely pop up but if I see one I will let you know.
oh and welcome to the forum!

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

My fav cover would have to be "Dust Bowl", also Joe's name is drawn in particular & especially stand-out "Spooky-Cool"!!!!

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Thanks Jane

Its a bit strange, but i quite like it, i think its weird there's not much information on this online

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Sloe Gin for sure...Love the color and Joe looks super cool !!

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Thanks so much for that Jane. One of my very favorite tunes and it is a ripper.

Re: Favorite CD/Album cover?

Holy f!!! That version of IFWN is one of the bests I've ever heard, even better than the acoustic one in the Live From Nowhere In Particular which up until now was my favorite version. Amazing! Jane, I sent you a Personal Messege smile

I'm broke, motherf**ker!

I haven't listened for a while but usually its just a little shorter. in this case with three of each I forget. will try to dig that out tonite, the photo wasn't in my computer.
sometimes the radio edit might be little more "pop" but they are similar to each other
if I get adventurous I might try to upload the audio on these....guessing its ok since its very much out of print (but would be a good seller if in the store I bet...)

i guess this could also go in the rarest promo thread but since i had more info about it here, i will continue here.


i was listening to this recently , trying to come up with a decnt description of the tracks. I got to say its hard for me to describe, not all that different really and the last track is really just a clip i guess that cuts off abruptly but after a KEEELER Joe solo. What stood out to me though was the blistering solo on Heartaches, the 5th track on this cd. a little background is that i love the song but i have tended to skip it a time or two and actually when i first saw a vid of it on Joe's own website back when i first heard about him, i never watched all the way thru. it did not catch me instantly as a song i thought i would enjoy. i mean i know that sounds dumb but it starts bluesy and that just wasn't in my interest really or something that grabbed my attention. i guess i never got to the solo,lol and that was a live clip. good thing i went to a show because based on that clip i would have skipped over Joe altogether and probably wouldn't have tuned in until recently when my Mother would have turned me on via PBS....
anyway I knew i had not heard the orginal ANDY studio track for sometime. when i heard track 5 off this Color and Shape promo, i was blown away. I thought to myself hey wait a minute i think that might be the most blistering solo on a studio release. i was then reminded of another thread around here somewhere. i thought i found a secret solo. i couldn't wait to share my find here but of course i had to do the proper research first (including a relisten to Faithless studio but I never got that far). I looked at the promo and it says "album version"
i was like what? i guess it is not news huh. i should go listen to ANDY again, and ANDY Live just to be sure this solo was more blistering. but what? the album version on ANDY is a couple minutes longer.......so then i was like really excited because i think i have a whole different version of this song!
so i try and try to pay close enough attention but each time my mind kind of wanders then i realize its getting blistering and try to pay attention. uggh i just don't know now. I think that it probably is a shortened version of the album edit and perhaps not a seperately recorded solo....???>??
so I uploaded but only viewable with the url, not searchable. although its a rare out of print release....i just wasn't extremely comfortable putting it on the tube BUT i am curious what anyone else thinks. as Jim mentioned on another thread, its dated 2002, after the album came out...so just find it odd what they refer to it as album edit
its gone off topic I know but I hope its OK to put here. i was just hoping for the really sick fans to reply anyway .....
so, is this the same solo off ANDY/ its around 4 mins= on this track, 6 mins plus on the ANDY cd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4szurHLWJZY
a fine edit nonetheless and just HOW DOES HE DO THAT???? I know there is much more to a solo than being blistering but anyway blahblah
of course now each time i listen it sounds slower/less blistering but still wondering is it the same solo?

HI Jane, yes it is PART of the same solo as on the album release.  The most obvious is Joe taking the vocal lead where Leslie West takes it.  Whether Leslie overdubbed guitar and vocals or muted, edited, or otherwise deleted from previous tracks, I would ask whomever was there and can remember.  My guess he dubbed last...Do NOT know though.  Leslie ALSO solos on the album, a fact often overlooked, "somehow" roll big_smile Joe's solo here picks up at about the 4:50 point of the CD album.  It is exactly the same from that point on to the conclusion of the track.  Just think missing Leslie vocal and solo (withheld for time constraints of radio stations of any stripe) and you still got distilled Smokinastilly Joe Bonamassa! Simple! wink
