Here’s a sneak peek at the cover art for the new Tangleweed CD, Most Folk Heroes Started Out As Criminals, due out in a few weeks. Tony Nuccio did the design work (he also did our first two CDs). I had a hankering to use this image for years — an image of a hard-luck kid during a Chicago Stockyards strike — but we weren’t able to reach an agreement with the rights holder until a few months ago.

We’re in the home stretch with this thing. The master has been delivered to the manufacturer, and we should have design proofs in a few days. Stay tuned.
