"More Than Words Can Say"

One of my all time favorite LP covers featuring WAR/The Lowrider Band harmonica musician, Lee Oskar. The Art Direction is credited to Ron Coro, illustration by Joe Garnett and concept by Lee Oskar. All seven tracks are 100%. Check out Jimmie Spheeris story on restoring one of Coro's cover designs (click here). I recall the landscape of a dream I had as a kid taking the form of Weather Report's Black Market LP cover art. Not too long ago, Waxpoetics released a text titled Cover Story, Album Cover Art and are soon to release Cover Story, Volume Two: Odd, Obscure, and Outrageous Album Art. More information is available at waxpoetics.com ..."Every album cover tells a story."
