I wish I had posted that
Now it's a little late...

Oops, scrolled right past it.

From '99, but in the spirit- Mark Olsen, "Didn't Ever... Hasn't Since"

David Frizzell: The Family's Fine, But This One's All Mine

Rusty Wier: Kum-Back Bar & Grill

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.

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

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.

Let's go find
some
Country Music

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?

xp

The Lindisfarne cover has a real "70s band marooned in the 80s" aura.

Found another late model entry... "Who Let the Cats Out?" by Mike Stern (2006)

https://img.discogs.com/YDilZnAaGnU9AydLSMp96nlSmks=/fit-in/600x549/filters:strip_icc():format(webp):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-15283034-1589141711-4503.jpeg.jpg

I really want to believe those are his cats.

Saw this on aquarium drunkard IG, amazing

really weak effort

Be a good title if it was by someone other than Albert Finney tbf.

fair

Not the title as such but rather the combination of title and album cover. Andy Bown, "Good Advice".

See also Sly's subsequent Bakc On The Right Track, which, commercially and critically, he certainly wasn't (though I prefer it to Heard Ya Missed Me..., tbh)

Christine Lavin: Live At The Cactus Cafe..."What Was I Thinking?"

That period at the end made me wonder what STEWDIQ was supposed to mean for a couple of seconds

Kimberley Rew, "Technically Closer Than Tooting"

That cover is really selling the album I must say.

Reposting as the previous link is dead: Hedgehog Pie - Just Act Normal. Is that really a pre-notoriety Peter Sutcliffe in the middle?

And let's not forget their Tony Capstick collaboration, "His Round":

haha hedgehog pie, what an amazing band name

I would have to believe that Hedgehog Pie would have a line in those UK band family trees going up to either Bloodwyn Pig or Jethro Tull. It seems like the name of some of the crazy outfits you never heard on those old 'band' family trees.

"just act normal" is a 5-star rock album title as well. tbh i admire their restraint in looking & acting normal on the cover, in lesser hands it would be one guy dressed in a tutu, or theyd be caught sneaking their guitars into the opera or something.

this hedgehog pie live album is pretty cool

March of the King is the Jeff Beck Jethro Tull mashup 14 year old me thought he wanted but I'm pretty sure I do not want. Makes me grin for sure though!

The Lambton Worm is a step above the others, creativity-wise

https://www.discogs.com/Bill-Keith-Something-Auld-Something-Newgrass-Something-Borrowed-Something-Bluegrass/release/3161408/image/SW1hZ2U6NjQzOTQwMQ==

I've got an older Geordie mate who always sings the Lambton Worm when he's pissed up (Hedgehog Pie were Geordies, by the looks of it).

I think there's a tangential Lindisfarne connection along the way, too
