Album covers done by musicians for their own albums

Aha! Thanks for informing me, since I Searched with no hits...

And there literally was not any "mention" of Hitchcock

 

I do all my covers and it usually doesn't take long.

"Between The Buttons" with back cover drawings by Charlie Watts.

 

The Move - "Message from The Country" had Roy Wood art work, based on an idea by Jeff Lynne.

 

cover by Wayne Coyne

 

Here's an obscure one that fits the category:

cover by Ant Grouth-Smith

Plus (for Lightbulb and Laibach) another which isn't so obscure:

cover by Robin Hitchcock

 

Paul Thorn has done the artwork for many of his albums. Has a great folk art feel to them. Matches his music perfectly. Here are a few of them.

Rick G

 

He also did the cover for this (which he appears on):

cover by Chris Mars

 

Five pages, and no mention of the King of Artist's Album Art? I give you...

So many stunning, exceptional covers. And I'm not saying that as a fan of his music. Even if I never heard of this guy, I'd be intrigued at these records by their asthetic alone.

 

The artwork on the pavement is all her own!

cover by Sandy Denny

 

Here's an amazing cover done by the entire group! Supposedly, when considering an album cover, they remembered the art they'd done on a blackboard while waiting to play at some school somewhere a few days earlier, and sent someone to photograph the blackboard. Fortunately, the school had been closed for the week so the art was still there, otherwise it would surely have been erased before being photographed.

Swell is one of my favorite bands ever, sadly overlooked and underrated.
The drummer, Sean Kirkpatrick, is also a painter.

Cover art based on a painting by Sviatoslav Richter. Not very well reproduced here, nor does Vox's logo do it any favors.

 

Many by Steve Earle.

 

I haven't seen this picture before, is it the back cover of the LP?

 

It's from a different issue of the album than the one you own. If you go to discogs.com you'll see the various countries and editions for not just this album, but just about every album you can think of!

 

Superchunk - Foolish

painted by bass player Laura Ballance.

 

More or less everything that Daniel Johnston has ever released.

 

As much as I love Bill Callahan and find him extremely talented, he didn't do these.
They are both by Paul Ryan.
