New Album - Down The Road Wherever

[Dutchessy]

I think there will be a expensive box set release as well.

[Love Expresso]

Down the road wherever ...

Worst album title so far since 1978. The opposite of original or inspired. Could be Eagles, Springsteen, Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff ... really, Cullercoats would have been so much more "Mark"..
 
I would bet MK or Kitty took the picture.   Maybe there is a nice story to it. I like the fresh colours and the font. Thanks for the find.
I have no idea how you guys are doing it.

I really don't. Most uninspired album title ever?
Artwork is very fresh and nice though.

I also like the fact that there will be a deluxe edition.
18,99 € was the same price with Tracker and it had almost 80 minutes of music.

The cover looks to me like Tracker 2 tho.

The last song on Tracker is "Wherever I go" ...

and also, going along with the promise said at the end of the Tracker's CD booklet, "I'll see you down the road"!

He could easily reuse Camerado. Perfect match!

Or The Long Highway...

I hate it but I have to agree. I know people will throw rotten tomatoes at us, after all so much waiting and stuff. But how generic is all that. The word "generic" is the word that comes to mind after seeng this. As generic as all these obituaries "written by Mark".

But having said that all, Mark seems to design the albums himself nowadays. And being a genius songwriter doesn't mean being a genius designer, so that's fair I guess. Sorry to all the people who can't stand a point of view that's not all praise.

Excuse me for liking it

I can explain my problem with album covers like this. You see, I'm not a songwriter and I can't write a song like Mark.
But I'm not a designer either, but I can take a random picture and slap a title over it in 5 minutes. That's it, cool, huh?



I know I'm asking for too much, but for an album that again and again will stay in you discography for an eternity...
I would put out something more substantial. And that's all. I'm not a hater, just want some more design effort.

I love both the title and the artwork! Can't wait to hear it!

[Robson]

I freaking love the title and the art 

Me too

Looks like we are up and running! Let the fun, games, opinions, theories, and taradiddle and nimiety of words commence! The Doc can't deny this surely, but equally sure he is not going to say anything about tracks. how composed, meanings, instruments until the record is out in the ether!

[knopflertom]

For me the songs matter; I don‘t care that about the title or the cover...

[shangri la 1]

3 versions?

[jbaent]

I don't know what to say... Just wake up early on Sunday (being a parent...) and I'm between incredulity and surprise...

Looking for official confirmation.

In the meantime, I always liked that kind of pictures, in fact I made one in Tenerife like that years ago. It's not very original but is nice and again using a similar font than in Ragpickers and Tracker, that I kind of like.

The title... Wherever I go - Down the road wherever... A connection?

Let's see what comes from official sources.

Maybe MK is a Vanishing Point fan??!!  Ha-ha!
