I like the picture a lot.

Maybe the album will brood after all.

Very Cool! Thanks!

Beautiful picture but it looks as if he's been reading the comments about his lyrics.

Great photo. Gets my vote as a cover. Where's that taken? Looks more US or Canada (as in north) than England or Ireland. Nice rain. Nice coat. If it sounds as good as it looks, I'll be happy.

Very cool. Looks like New York - water towers on the apartment buildings.

Yep, I'd agree, Sam. That and the iron-lined curb and cobblestone street, though those are common in any older US city, I spose. But it does sort of scream BROOKLYN or something, doesn't it?

A doctored job. The street scene has been shot, with or without the rain (more likely without), then Elvis has been addad. The lighting is kinda weird for the setting and there's lots of (too much IMO) "flapping" on his coat, too. Nothing wrong with it. Still looks darn cool.

Yes, I have nothing better to do than pick apart a picture.

PoP, I noticed that it was doctored too. He looks superimposed. His shoes and pants look airbrushed, so does the blur of his coat tails. The bright light on his forehead would suggest that he'd cast a shadow on the road.

Why would they go through so much trouble, unless... yes, I think it's the album cover.

There's a photo of James Dean that looks very similar.

Phew, someone agrees. That's what I mean about the weird lighting, Bamboo. It's a bugger to shoot in the rain. And they forgot to put rain in front of him.

No doubt obvious to a photography expert like you.

ooooh, I want a poster with that pic...

They handed out little postcards with that picture at the show in Chicago.

Maybe I'll bring it to the show Tuesday and try to get it autographed by the Imposters!

And I thought that halo was his besoted aura....

Still wanna know where the street is! Dorky, I know.

It is very cool isn't it? PetBuns from what you said about the track you heard it seems it's a case of stylized in the nicest sense of that word.
