  1. The photography really adds to the nostalgic feel. Deep focus, high contrast, obvious highlights and shadows.  it’s a nice break from the shallow focus, soft everything look of so much contemporary food photography.

  2. Looks like this cover is a clear riff on the cover of Brother Jack McDuff’s 1969 album, Down Home Style, right down to the yellow and use of Rustic No. 2:

  3. Nice find, didn’t know that!
