There better be no guitar on that album

Yikes.

extra points for airbrush lips art, so ubiquitous in this era.

There's another universe where all popular music was presented like this forever.

This thread is amazing but I have never read it properly. Maybe 2021 is gonna be the year.

I love this thread, I always leave it for when I'm feeling sad.

That looks like a good album.

This thread is coming up on its 10th birthday and I couldn't be more pleased.

Listening now- it's a comp of his soul-jazz stuff from the late 60s... smokes!

Hence the alternate title, Benson Smoker!

also, that cover is amazing

Needs a UK greatest hits record called 20 Bensons to be one of the canon imo.

Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Thursday, 25 February 2021 18:33 (three years ago) link

Ten Benson also had an album called Benson Burner! But their best effort was 2002's 'Satan Kidney Pie':

Richard X Heyman: Nice Shot

"what are you DOING to fleetwood mac??" (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 26 February 2021 15:11 (three years ago) link

loving the built-in cover connections between "Rightovers" and "Basic Glee." has there ever been an artist who used the same exact backdrop for every single album photo shoot?

honkin' on bobo, honkin' with my feet ten feet off of beale (Doctor Casino), Friday, 26 February 2021 15:36 (three years ago) link

It's probably like Bruce Springsteen or G'n'R releasing two albums at the same time.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 26 February 2021 17:40 (three years ago) link

RXH also has an album called "Tiers and Other Stories"

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Friday, 26 February 2021 17:54 (three years ago) link

REO Speedwagon - "This Time We Mean It" - 1975

Somewhat surprising this hasn't appeared on the thread, given that another album by the same band is in the first post

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Tuesday, 9 March 2021 07:51 (three years ago) link

Richard Heyman should do a record titled Nice Dick Heyman

it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Monday, 15 March 2021 21:53 (three years ago) link

Or one called Nice Shot.

David Frizzell literally had his own album to do.

"I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home"?!

That’s a great song. Mind, I really like his “You’re The Reason God Made Oklahoma” too.

Tim, Sunday, 25 April 2021 22:06 (two years ago) link

I don’t really get the Rusty Wier one, but I posted another one of his on the Yawnsomely Literal thread because it is in fact awesomely literal

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Sunday, 25 April 2021 22:12 (two years ago) link

I posted that one because it's just goofy, and I just saw both it & the Frizzell in a collection of tapes a retailer I follow on FB shared today.

Not entirely suitable for this thread as the title is neither here nor there, but Lindisfarne's 'Sleepless Nights' has a cover for the ages:

does it say “...and get lost in it” on the back sleeve?
