The Blue Jukebox cover

[marcolino]

Maybe not all of you are aware that the cover of this CD recalls (and was probably inspired by) a very known painting of the american painter Edward Hopper. That painting is "The Nighthawks", and here's a link where you can see an imagine of that work.

Hey Sherlock Holmes (or should I say Watson). How did you find out this .

[marcolino]

Well, I like art as well as music, and Hopper is one of my favourite painters of the XXth century. I have a catalogue of his works, so when I bought TBJ I noticed from the very first moment I saw its cover that it was a reworking of "The nighthawks". I never thought to "reveal" this to anyone until now, though....

Haha!! Gotcha Chris!

...but, I think, Chris still better plays the guitar...

Hey, Marcolino, that was a good shot!

[marcolino]

As I can read from the booklet, the front cover illustration is by a certain Paul Slater and not by Chris, though I think he has approved the cover itself. In fact, this kind of painting is not in the "Chris' style"....

In fact, this kind of painting is not in the "Chris' style"....

Why do you think so? Retro bluesy cafe with a bit lone people... jukebox... old car... a lot of blue tones... and, if it's not in Chris' style, why does it appear at Chris' album cover?

if it's not in Chris' style, why does it appear at Chris' album cover?

I, think Marcolino ment, it's not Chris'style of painting. Like Rembrand and van Gogh are not painting in the same style.

Exactly so
