Hahaha

although totally just a result of laziness and not thought out in advance, I like that Dewey Redman is red.

One Love is really getting me on revisiting

what about an album of David Crosby covers played on xylophones etc entitled 'If I Could Only Marimba My Name'

Timpani High (About 3am)

hahaha

Cover shot is Crosby wandering through the desert, a soft mallet in either hand.

Earl Klugh Trio - Klughless

Cover is just the other two members of the trio. So are the tracks.

I missed this the first time around. Underrated.

A covers record, obv

brilliant

Ages ago I imagined a parallel universe John McLaughlin stooping not quite to 'McLaughin' (not even possible in parallel worlds) but rather to 'Aughlin a Laugh'.

McLivlin, McLaughlin, McLovlin

Band is called E.V.O.O.

Album is “Extra Virgin Killer” - bottle of olive oil on black background.

A Flair for the Dramatic

The cover is a hot alt model who is wearing a fake beard and mustache, to resemble William Shakespeare. But rather than Elizabethan garb, she's in a TGI Fridays-style waitress uniform with lots of buttons (a la Jennifer Aniston in Office Space).

Lester and Jack Eyvil - The Lester of Two Eyvils

The Ombudsmen - Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

He should make a record called Losing Bonamassa. Cover is him getting calcium pills from a doctor.

The Doors - Don't Let Us Hit You in the Ass

Lol. Aging Jim Morrison would have been a goldmine for these I bet.

The spoken-word album that discusses and evaluates a certain Louvin Brothers record, by the singer of "Kiss From A Rose."

Ratin' Is Seal

I’m pleased to announce my forthcoming acoustic flatpicking record “Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Strings”

A Robert Plant album with the title Industry Plant in block red letters across the top. In the center of the frame is a huge fern, with a mic stand & guitar propped in front it. The fern is surrounded by several figures, all costumed in exaggerated style, and whose sight-lines lead to where the fern's "eyes" would be: (a) to the left, a sleazy label type (portrayed by Plant himself), chomping on a cigar and thrusting out a contract & pen; (b) to the right, a "dealer" with a huge baggie of white powder in one hand and an oversized spoon in the other; and (c) crouching lower in the frame, a "groupie" type, gazing up lovingly.

Was just thinking that a truly abysmal name for a record would be “Countdown to Poundtown”

(The front cover) The artist (with an expectant expression and prominent wristwatch) being led by the hand by a hot lady…(on the back cover) to an animal shelter with cute pets in cages; artist looks chagrined.

Cover photo: inside of a mud hut. Pith helmet-clad artist is sitting opposite an African woman dressed in traditional wedding garb. Scattered around him are various communication devices - semaphore flags, pad and pencil, Morse code machine. In his hand is a loudhailer. His companion is giving him a bemused, uncomprehending look.

Album title: My Wife Doesn't Understand Me

xp: gatefold is a fake £1 note with the artist's face in place of the queen's head.

Julian Clary makes early 90s album of duets, cover art of him climbing out of a giant trifle bowl, titled The Poof Is In The Pudding (produced by Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs)

Bluesmen Walter Washington & Walter Trout sit under a bridge, looking forlorn.

Title: "Bridge Over Troubled Walters"

Moe Bandy - This Is Actually My https://i.imgur.com/0Q4F3R6.jpeg Rodeo!!! (1976)

the cover art would look something like this, but with a trio of cowboys standing around laughing at an indignant Bandy

A super hot/fast country guitar pickin’ record called “Save Some Notes For The Rest Of Us!”

Lubomir Melnik should use that one...

Bruce Hornsby and the Range: A Range Of Different Musical Styles

Cover is an oven range and there is a pot or pan on each burner, and inside each pot or pan is the name of a musical genre (Blues, Jazz, Rock, Soul). And each is also in a different terrible typeface and different bright color.

David Van Day and a reformed Dollar: Another Day, Another Dollar

album by a smooth-jass guy entitled SAX OFFENDER, on the cover he leers & pulls open his raincoat to reveal the saxophone slung at crotch level

a young woman dressed for some reason in benny hill show style "sexy nurse" gear recoils in theatrical shock

Sequel: he is clocking in with a punch card to a stereotypical jazz club, prominently holding his sax, album title BLOW JOB

lol!

An album called “There’s Nothing Left To Live For”. The star is in the middle, to his right are several beautiful women, a sports car, stacks of cash, booze, etc, and to his left is a boring looking office desk with some bills and forms, a desktop computer etc.

Drum battle record featuring drummers Jim Black and Jim White called "Black and White." Jim Black is wearing white, and Jim White is wearing black.

Follow-up record is called "It's Not Black And White" and features neither of them.
