Alright...want your opinions regarding CD Artwork, Etc. - Page 2

Just a couple of words. Chills. Touching.

Oh, and the vocals weren't TOOO bad.

"It's got great lyrics and the guitar is sharp, but I just can't dance to it. I'd give it a 74, Dick."

Seriously, I like it a lot. It's one of those songs where you lay down on the bed, close your eyes, and just immerse.

Jets80 · 02-04-2003, 07:37 PM

Back of CD looks a little to plan. You look like the average Joe. Your big smile is prolly becasue your so happy you just put out a CD. Here is the loo kyou should go for : This is IMO one of the coolest album covers of all time.

McSweeny · 02-04-2003, 08:26 PM

i've always liked this album cover:

Alf · 02-05-2003, 03:43 AM

The John Lee Hooker cover is indeed very nice !

My 0.02$ comments (hope this helps)

Back Cover :I don't like the picture on the back cover. Your left shoulder looks a bit strange, and the smile...

Front Cover : Album and artist name should stay like that. I like the way they are. As for the map, if you want to stick with the map idea, I would try to look for a more "modern" look map, and try to match the color of the map and the see. They differ too much right now. I also agree that the front guitar looks "cheap". I really like the picture of the sea ! I'll try to make a copy of what I'd suggest for changes (hard to explain with my limited english skills as it's already difficult for me to formulate that in French !)

Inside : no particular comment, looks pro to me. The trunk picture is fine.

Ben E Lou · 02-05-2003, 04:42 AM

FYI, I've uploaded one more MP3. It is in the "link to the songs" thread.

Skydog -

After spending the night STARING at your CD images and listening to your music I arrived at startling conclusion.

Both the music and the artwork could use more cowbell.

Ben E Lou · 02-05-2003, 03:52 PM

Doubtful. Just called her at work. She's not there right now. Some prankster. Whew!

Buzzbee · 02-05-2003, 03:54 PM

Ruh-Roh Raggy!

Ben E Lou · 02-05-2003, 03:58 PM

Hmmmm....actually it almost certainly IS her. She leaves the office early on Wednesdays, and the IP is from our DSL provider. She's probably just messing with me then, and I know she won't be online long right now. She has a Bible Study at 5:00pm, so I'm guessing she's gone already.

Draft Dodger · 02-05-2003, 04:22 PM

so, do we have to be on our best behaviour now?
no more comments on her legs?
no more "king of the world" jokes?

Senator · 02-05-2003, 04:49 PM

Wives are NICE!!!

CamEdwards · 02-05-2003, 04:54 PM

I just want to know when we're going to hear the Joe Stallings/Ben E Lou duet of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

Since y'all are both in Atlanta and whatnot.

sorry... no valid excuse for being loopy like Joe.

Speaking of Joe... you never write me anymore, Joe. *sniff sniff*

I feel like I've been dumped.

Ben E Lou · 02-05-2003, 04:55 PM

Actually the more I think about it, the more I think she'll never come back here on her own. She has read several threads in the past when I've told her that something was in them that she'd find interesting. (She actually has a link at work to the "confessions of a porn store clerk" thing....) Knowing her personality, she'd much rather just be informed when something interesting is around than actually checking it for herself on a regular basis.

Hey, maybe you could have them as featured guests on your show. I'm sure your listeners would love a little live concert put on just for their benefit.

Careful SkyDog. She has access now. Anything you say CAN and WILL be held against you in a court of law, or an argument. Whichever comes first.

I have found that "Knowing her personality..." ALWAYS gets me in trouble with SWMBO.

Anrhydeddu · 02-05-2003, 05:04 PM

I've printed out threads for my wife to read but if it doesn't involve shopping for clothes from Coldwater Creek or LLBean, she won't go there on her own.

Alf · 02-06-2003, 02:58 AM

My daughter (Solenn) was also born on April 8 !

daedalus · 02-06-2003, 03:46 PM

Her title shouldn't be 'Mascot'. Just don't seem right.

Your wife has more posts per day than I do.

Im sad and I know it

Buzzbee · 02-06-2003, 09:51 PM

I'm thinking H.W.I.C.

Head Wife In Charge

or

Head Woman In Charge

Easy Mac · 02-06-2003, 10:49 PM

Skydog looks like Michael Boatman.

And where are you getting this done at. My dads getting a "Christian" blue grass CD made pretty soon, one of his parishoners just opened a recording studio.

Congrats

An old friend of mine named Ed Cash is producing it. I've known Ed through Young Life circles for over 10 years now. He's from Charlotte, but he moved his wife and family to Nashville about 3 years gao, and he's beginning to get a nice reputation. The home they bought had an in-law suite off to the side of the house, which he has converted into a full-fledged digital recording studio, and he also has an office in that building. Its a great setup that allows him to be right there with his wife and three little ones (all three are 4 and under). Ed has recently produced albums for Kathy Mattea, Bebo Norman and Phil Keaggy. (His most recent album that he did for Bebo is up for seven Dove Awards.) The fun "claim-to-fame" of my CD is that the bass player did several tracks on the Dixie Chicks most recent album.

Here's a picture from the studio, taken right after the last day of recording. Ed's the one on the far right:

McSweeny · 02-07-2003, 02:34 PM

yeah i'd suggest buying that album, it is truly excellent. If you ever get the chance, go see flogging molly live, they are by far one of the best bands i have ever seen live.

"what's left of the flag" is a great song too

What do they sound like? The Pogues?

McSweeny · 02-07-2003, 03:11 PM

yeah you can compare them to the pogues, but they have their own sound.
