why is he pointing at his name in that last one, is that part of the joke somehow?
― soref, Friday, 11 August 2017 00:23 (six years ago) link
According to wiki his one hit was about a dead dog, so maybe he's pointing to heaven?

yeah it is so much more than a dead dog song. not something that points to a great multi-album career though. i used to own the s/t and it was utterly utterly forgettable except for the groovy lettering on the cover

Don't *think* we've had this one before, the only results I can find on the thread for "Buzzard" are dear old Tucky Buzzard.
Anyway:

such a weird title/cover match. like was it changed last-minute from "you always know where you stand with a pumpkin"? how the hell did they arrive at either of these?

The cover features the still-hairy prototypical hippy freak Clint generously holding out a giant fake-looking orange. The title of the album came from what Clint said to a visitor who fled after being attacked by buzzards whose nest site he’d unwittingly approached, the point being that you’re supposed to stand your ground and the buzzards will hold back.

"Mustard" cover was painted by Roy Wood - but then he did everything on that album, he probably pressed it too.

I believe that Lowell George is making a second appearance... which makes me wonder if anyone has done a record called "Seconds" with a picture of the artist at a dinner table by himself and a huge pile of food surrounded by empty plates.

There's something especially bad about food related ones. I'd like to see one called "Something I Ate Didn't Agree With Me" and it could be maybe a giant, monstrous fish fillet sandwich snarling menacingly at the artist.
