Sam Beam's latest is a brilliant collection of muddy ambiance and earthen largess, so the album cover floating around the net seemed to fit, sorta; a little less-than-stellar, but hey it looked woodsy and Beam's got beard, so whatever. Turns out that was all a sham, perpetrated by some avid, amateur, Iron-inspired artiste. The real album art, well, that titular canine's the star of the show...
