Elite Hotel (LP 12978, 1975) and
\nBlue Kentucky Girl (LP 9615, 1979)
\nCovers by Tom Wilkes
\nFrom the Wade Hall Sound Recordings Collections<\/p>\n

The award winning artist, designer and photographer Tom Wilkes passed away last week. He leaves behind a massive catalog of album covers — work that he did over a career that spanned more than four decades and includes these two covers by Alabama native, Emmylou Harris.Wilkes made his name as the Art Director for the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967, creating iconic psychedelic images that forever branded the festival in our memories and our imaginations. He went on to a long and successful career that brought us album covers such as the Flying Burrito Brothers’ Gilded Palace of Sin, and Beggars Banquet by the Rolling Stones. His creative genius will be missed, but will surely live on.<\/p>\n
