Album Cover Description
Jandek, Nature Boy. He crouches shirtless in a vegetable garden behind a house that's mostly obscured by a profusion of tree foliage. He's got one hand under his chin as if contemplating something profound, or perhaps just trying to figure out what to do about the insects that are eating holes in his lettuce. Near the house two metal garbage cans are visible. The short sections of decorative white fence along the side of the garden are
most charming. -- Seth Tisue
