SynopsisRobert Crumb first began drawing record covers in 1968 when Janis Joplin, a fellow Haight Ashbury denizen, asked him to provide a cover for her album Cheap Thrills. It was an invitation the budding artist couldn't resist, especially since he had been fascinated with record covers-particularly for the legendary jazz, country, and old-time blues music of the 1920s and 1930s-since he was a teen. This early collaboration proved so successful that Crumb went on to draw hundreds of record covers for both new artists and largely forgotten masters. So remarkable were Crumb's artistic interpretations of these old 78 rpm singles that the art itself proved influential in their rediscovery in the 1960s and 1970s. Including such classics as Truckin' My Blues Away, Harmonica Blues, and Please Warm My Weiner, Crumb's opus also features more recent covers done for CDs. R.

Crumb's Artistry - on Record Album Covers!? OH Yes!!!
An Iconic Artist of the Underground Comix culture/ era, R Crumb left an indelible impression of 'over the top' Satirical Caricatures of the 60s Scene - and beyond.... Crumb has his *Issues*, alrighty, but managed to Turn his Twisted World View into a highly successfully ART/ Humor career that continues to this day... THIS Volume of album Covers that he 'illustrated' is a Fantastic Display of both his Insanely Whack 'underground Comix Style' - as Well as 'more Standard' types of Illustration NOT known to many! He is, Indeed, ARTIST as well as Illustrator! HIGHLY, Highly Recommended 'Art Book' for all Crumb Fans!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
