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 The figure crouches... wearing sandals. The curtains are not drawn. Debris is stacked along the side of the house. The crops are not discernable, perhaps onions on the left? Cement pediment (see Modern Dances) in the lower right corner. Telephone poles in the upper right corner (telegraph... telephone?)

Reviews

Jandek lives next door to someone far away, someplace where music is an expression of emotion and not a packaged entertainment; made for self, rather than for an audience... Theres some sorta feeling trapped in the sound that I like to bask in. -- Art Black Away From the PulseBeat Winter 1987
