Album Cover Art

Let's continue our look at Gigwise.com's list of the top 50 dirtiest and sexiest album cover art, this time #19 (Gigwise comments in quotes):


19. Jimmy McGriff: ‘Groove Grease’ – "If you like nudity, bustin’ a groove and some grease, then Jimmy McGriff be your man. The jazz musician teamed up with organist Groove Holmes for this 1971 release – and what better way to mark two influential figures coming together than to decorate it with a picture of a naked lady from behind?"

I don't see any small cars or horses on her body (as in #20 & 21 on the list), hopefully we are over that concept.

CD universe had this to say about the record: Though the evocative title and soft-core cover art peg the era of this collection of soul-jazz instrumentals from the great Hammond organist and his band as the early 1970s, Jimmy McGriff's interpretations of standards like "Canadian Sunset,""There Will Never Be Another You," and "Moonglow," as well as originals like "Plain Brown Bag" and the title track, are timeless.
