Bewitched: The Goddess Edition front cover. It is just a photograph of the artist, Laufey. She is posed facing the viewer, but her gaze is down and to her left. She has brown wavy hair parted just off-center, held in place on her rigth by a pearly clip just above her ear, accenting a pair of large pearls in her earring. One her right her hair falls behind her shoulder, on her left, it drapes across the front. She is wearing a very frosty color of eye shadow that strongly accents her eyes. She is wearing an off the shoulder dress, white bows at each shoulder becoming a ribbon across the bodice. Below that the dress is dark in color, and only seen partly.

Lake Street Dive – Fun Machine: The Sequel

Back in 2012, Lake Street Dive put out an EP of cover songs called “Fun Machine.” Ten years later, they went somewhat longer and made a full album of cover songs, which I bought...

Hypnagogia front cover – album cover by Kuf Knotz and Christine Elise. Their names are in psychedelic style lettering in a circle in the upper right. Taking up most of the album cover is a triangle filled with other psychedelic colors and designs. Where the triangle isn't is filled with other designs in two dark shades.

Jorma Kaukonen – Reno Road

Despite my love of Jefferson Airplane, I never followed Hot Tuna or Jorma Kaukonen until just a few years ago. During the COVID-19 lockdown, word got out that Jorma was playing some of the...

The Cream front cover – photograph of John Lee Hooker, a 60-something-year-old black man in a very dapper light colored three piece suit, a black silk or nylon shirt with an incredibly wide collar reaching to the shoulders of his suit jacket, and a tall, broad-brimmed light colored hat. He is seated at a diner table, a tabletop jukebox selector in the booth behind him. He has one arm resting on the table, the other on his knee, his left leg crossed on his right knee, he sits turned out from the booth. On the table is a heaping ice cream sundae covered in whipped cream with a cherry on top.

John Lee Hooker – The Cream

Well here’s a brand new, 2024 re-release of another John Lee Hooker album that I was previously unaware of – from 1977 (released in 1978), a live recording titled “The Cream,” but having nothing...

Don't Turn Me From Your Door front cover – the cover features the name "John Lee Hooker" across the top; beneath that in smaller, lower-case italic is the title, "don't turn me from your door." The photograph provides an almost entirely black background. Left of center are three separate types and sizes of microphones on three different stands; another, higher microphone is off to the right. Behind the microphones is John Lee Hooker, a black man in a sharp, dark pin-striped suit, looking down at the guitar he is playing.
