I think Lee is the guy sitting outside playing his harp … the guy inside, is eating an apple, I think those might be harmonica cases lined up on the coffee table … IDK the book, or the game? … that rug really does tie the room together!
-
The cover artwork is one of the best of all records I have in my collection even when it's confusing a bit... -
Haunted House is a straight up harmonica funk banger that's really being slept on. "You....remind me of.....a haunted house.....I once was in" -
A nice compilation of music pushing the harmonica to ranges of funky stomping to a mix of bag pipes, yet remains true to the funk that transferred from years of contribution to the group War.
