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.
