Opinion: New Jeff Beck Album Cover Just Blew My Mind

When Jeff Beck’s new album, Emotion and Commotion, comes out Apr 13th, it will be sporting an album cover of such epic awesomeness that viewers’ faces may melt like they were looking at the Ark of the Covenant.

Look at this this thing! A majestic bald eagle flies across a stormy sky while carrying a guitar in its talons. It is almost too cool for words. I, for one, would be honored to have that image painted on the side of my Chevy van, or airbrushed onto my denim jacket.

The only thing that could possibly make this album cover better was if the eagle was wearing a Wolf Shirt.

The album, according to Rolling Stone, will be a combination of rock and classical music.

One thing that bothers me is based on the weight of the guitar and where the eagle is gripping it, the bird should be massively unbalanced. Eagle and Stratocaster should be spinning out of control as they plunge majestically to the Earth, as this album will probably do.

Its not too late to add a Wolf Shirt.
