COLORADO


How an album cover
was created

dhlovelife, my favorite person in the world (aside from my children) is the creator of the COLORADO cover. She used one shadow on a horse photograph she had taken and one photograph she had collected and edited, selecting a section and turning it upside down. Added to those was a painting my daughter, painter Amber Young, did a few short years ago. Amber’s painting, shown on its side in the cover, is about 6 feet tall by 3 and a half feet wide, an encaustic piece in color, she created, working with wax and colors. It represents an audio envelope to me. I just love it and always have.

Notice how the top left of the cover has a picture of a horse and a reverse image below it? The way that image represents my right shoulder I am part horse! I just love this cover. Wait ’til you see the back and inside covers, as well as the 7 inch cover for ‘Rainbow of Colors’ bw ‘Truth Kills’ included with the vinyl package. ‘Rainbow of Colors’ is presented on the 7 inch in its debut live solo performance with the amazing audience’s reaction to the song, having never heard it before. A definitive and wonderful Crazy Horse version of ‘Rainbow of Colors’ is included in the album.

I love dhlovelfe and her beautiful artistic sentiment, so well represented in her artwork for COLORADO and its accompanying 7 inch vinyl cover. So many of you have commented online about this cover, I just wanted to tell you all about it.
lovelife.
Yes.
