On the left is John the Wolfking of LA — a solo album by John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, released in 1970. When I stumbled across it, the cover jumped out at me, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it… then it hit me. Dylan! I was immediately interested after I realized that.
On the right is Bob Dylan’s Desire — an album I’ve loved for a long time, but had no idea that the cover was an homage. Well, I just love that kind of thing and had to download Wolfking. As it turns out, the album is fantastic… the best kind of combination of Gram Parsons and John Cale. Take a listen.
