Not only did it take me a couple of years to figure out how funny it was to name a Southern rock band Nantucket, but it took me even longer to appreciate Robert Grossman's funny cover.

It wasn't until I actually looked at the cover closely that I realized Grossman was responsible for dozens and dozens of magazine covers I'd seen over the years, let along dozens of album covers.

Here's a link to some of his work: http://drewfriedman.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-caricature-art-of-robert-grossman.html
