Just a couple notes about your "Darn That Dream" recommendation:
1. In a post about cover art, you should probably credit the photographer, Toni Frissell. The photo is from 1947 and called "Weeki Wachee spring, Florida." She donated most of her negatives to the Library of Congress so it's free for use without restriction. Probably why it's showed up in so many places over the years. https://www.loc.gov/resource/ppmsca.10079/
2. I know this is pedantic, but Undercurrent is a duet album, not one where Bill Evans is the leader. It's usually credited "Bill Evans - Jim Hall" or "Bill Evans/Jim Hall."
3. If you like Undercurrent, you should know that they did another duet album called Intermodulations a few years later. It's also extremely good.
Chris!! I'm honored 😭 This is such a cool take on album and single art. So cool to know the stats on portrait album art. Thank you for doing this.
My pleasure. Love your newsletter!
