Hot on the heels of working on their trio of Hot Tuna inspired discs, I recently had the privilege of designing the elements for a new Whinin' Boys CD, Mojo Filter - a project of acoustic slide and picking tunes. It features artwork by Jude DeFalco NY Artist. You can view & purchase Jude's prints at https://www.facebook.com/drummerdudejude/shop/

Had such a good time working on these album covers in a series for The Whinin' Boys. This trio of discs features tunes made famous by the legendary acoustic blues duo Hot Tuna.

Listening to Hot Tuna and working on the packaging for the second CD by The Whinin' Boys.
We are putting the final touches on our 2nd CD of The Whinin’ Boys trilogy entitled ‘Hooked’ which was recorded live at Gonzo Studios.
Thanks to Dave Mercier on his album cover design and to Arthur Scott Verner at DMS Studio for producing the masters.
