JOE WALSH “Analog Man” – Some Fun & Random Thoughts From Stone (Part Five)
Rock ‘N Roll Photography Of Analog Man
JOE WALSH – Okay, as I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Joe Walsh’s new studio album Analog Man, something very, very funny finally dawned on me! This album cover idea for Analog Man has been done before! Just because an album cover idea has been done before, it doesn’t necessarily mean it was done better. No way. Not in this case.
I give the Rockin’ nod to this Analog Man cover; both for its photographic excellence and for the way the photographer (Andrew Macpherson) captured the mood of Joe Walsh. It’s all about capturing that Rock mystique in Rock photography and Andrew did just that. Commendable!
Now… for that other album cover (from the past) with the same idea… uh, oh…
At one time, Torben Enevoldsen was photographed this same way for his album: Heavy Persuasion. Torben must have asked his neighbor to stop mowing the lawn to take this picture of him. Big difference between the Analog Man album cover and Heavy Persuasion. Whoa. Check it out for yourself below:

Yep, a time-honoured axeman’s pose Stone! This back cover shot from Be bop Deluxe’s debut album ‘Axe Victim’ went for the same vibe (although the band is surrounding him in the full pic. Big shout out for Bill Nelson – GREAT guitarist and musical visionary!
