That is easily Lowell's third or fourth appearance with that cover, and I for one am always glad to see it come around.

It's the river bottom. Low-lying alluvial land situated along the banks of a river.

Hope the inner sleeve has a from-above view of Ricky's hair, to provide the complete schematics of how it was engineered. I recall collarless dress shirts really coming into their own in the late-80s, usually accompanied by a tiny ponytail. Skaggs was out in front.

This isn't really a horrible album title I just like the idea of a guy in a leather jacket living in a cave somewhere with his guitar and amps and spare set of sneakers with a calendar on the wall to tell him when he must next descend the mountain to bring rock and roll to the distrustful villagers, also Malcolm Tomlinson is such an un-rock 'n' roll name.
Malcolm Tomlinson, "Rock and Roll Hermit".
