One of my favorite recording artists, Ry Cooder, released a new album yesterday and Hard Rock chip collectors will be doing a double-take when they see it in the record stores. It didn't dawn on me where I had seen the image before until David Butler posted a message with the Bob Seger chip a few days ago. Below is the new album cover alongside David's scan of the HR chip.

Interesting, huh?

By the way, I've heard a couple of cuts, and if you're a fan of Ry Cooder, Cuban music or great guitar playing, you should give it a listen. All Things Considered on National Public Radio did a great interview a few days ago that you can listen to online if you're interested.
