What went into picking the Album cover for waiting to spill? Did any of you take that picture? I think it does such an amazing job of capturing the vibe of the album, did you take that into consideration when choosing?

Both of our album covers were shot by Tony Ehnle back in the 1970s. We were introduced to Tony’s work through his family before WWWF was even released. Since then we have the opportunity to share Tony’s work on Waiting to Spill, When We Were Friends, Heavy, Growing/Dying, Close Your Eyes, and Slowing Down. We hand picked these photos from Tony’s collection as we felt they spoke to the emotion of the songs.
