I agree that Time & Bare Trees have covers very appropriate to their themes.

Rumours gives a sense of grace and artistry, but I hate that dull yellow color. I admit that the color makes the album instantly recognizable in any collection.

Mirage is my favorite of the Rumours line-up. Love the surreal/brushed/hand-tinted effect along with the dark background. Even so, Stevie's neck is creepy, very long, and looking almost like she has an Adam's Apple sticking out. (It's funny that Strand mentioned the Marie thing, because when I see the Mirage cover I always think of that interview in which Stevie says she was beheaded in her past life, so she has no control over how far she can put her head back at the beauty parlor.)The contrast in arm positions between Stevie's & Christine's is great. And even Lindsey's eye make-up isn't too distracting.

I also like the BN cover, but my favorite cover is Rock a Little.
