All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

When it comes to album artwork, simple is almost always a good thing. That's just me, though.

Excellent. Classy, slightly retro. The blue keys are a nice little touch.

Considering all of Brians album covers have been pretty hideous, this is nicely understated.

It's nice, probably a tad bit too understated for my personal taste, but never mind, BW album covers have come a long way since Imagination...

I like the Beatles a bit more than the Boys of Beach, I think Brian's band is the tops---really amazing. And finally, I'm liberal. That's it.

Yes, that picture of Brian's just great, though I doubt it represents his actual wardrobe while working on the music (but that's fine, it doesn't have to). It sort of reminds me of the classic mid-sixties shot at the beginning of the "Sloop John B." video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09dQmeB_NgU.

I really like that too. Reminds me of the classic Blue Note jazz LP covers.

This cover art reminds me of jazz records. Jazz albums usually had better cover art than musical contents.

Hopefully that won't be the case with this album.

Last time I checked, Kenny G isn't jazz.

In the words of AGD, who knows? But - we might just be surprised. After all, I heard some of the songs I have a hunch Brian rose up the occasion.
