Q, Album Art and Stereophile Magazine
Posted by: Paul Koch
While flipping through the October issue of Stereophile magazine, I came across the familiar looking CD cover for David Grier’s new release, Evocative, accompanying an article on the Nashville-based bluegrass guitarist. The CD is designed by Jeff Callender, VP/Design Director at Q. Word is that Jeff has secret connections to Nashville and gets the occasional call for CD design. (Hello Nashville: That number again is 734-668-1695.)
Among reviewers, the Evocative album is hailed as daring and innovative (yet inviting), being a jazzy departure from Grier’s bluegrass roots. For the album design, Jeff tells me they were going for a retro vibe, inspired by the 1960s albums and musicians that first sparked Grier’s interest in the guitar.
