“I’ll Never Be Afraid” by the Gospel Rythm-Aires.   A superior example of outsider, DIY cover art.   Beautiful in its simplicity and naivete.   Mixed media here all comes together for a doomsday message of hope, faith and salvation.   See the ghostly figure of Jesus in nature craddling the band as Armeggedon hits the big city.

The Ferguson Trio. A righteous threesome for God with a honey of a hotrod and trailer. “Sing the Gospel” on Praise records. Even I’d honk for God if I passed them rolling down the interstate!

“Jack Tells It Like It Is About Drugs” (Somehow I don’t think he’s reading Hunter S. Thompson here.   And the guys in the background aren’t having a prayer meeting.)
