It is not a cover: it is an original composition.

Then you should have dissauded your man from signing the waiver allowing them to use his image.
I just can't stand this album cover.

I'm not really sure why you just called me a big dumb pig, or where you got the idea that I have anything to do with raising pigs.  I take it you're a Bob Dylan worshipper though?

Good mellow song.  I remember when this came out and I was just starting college.  One of those time stamp songs.

I like the song. If representative of the album, I think the cover art is great. I mean, who hasn't done the bed-as-trampoline thing at some point in their life, and found it to be OK but providing nowhere near the thrill and altitude they originally envisioned? The flaccid (sorry, had to use that) posture suggests that "not as happy as I hoped to be" feeling...as does the song.

Granted, the model for pic is doing this a little later than most, but I cannot (will not) say when I last attempted it, nor if I had more or less, uhm...support than the guy in the picture. Sometimes you just have to go with what life allows and take the leap. Go for it, Joe.

What is the theme here? Terrible cover art? The last 3 covers are the worst I've ever seen.

Yeesh! What an awful croak of a voice! I can't believe that I gave this an 'acceptable' rating before - 4=>1 and a mute until someone comes on who can actually sing. The lyrics may well be deeper than the Marianas Trench, going by previous comments, but the voice is like a cheese grater against the eardrums :(

Tramploine is my favorite Joe Henry album. The reference to Bob and Ray always kills me. It came out in 1996 Bill

Agreed! You'd think a song called Topless Shoeshine would conjure up a better image than that!

In fact, I've read interviews with him where he claims that he really doesn't know what he's writing about while he's writing.

I like that.  It's all about a kind of collective unconscious, along with subtlety and nuance, which is in short supply in our society.

Joe is the best.
 

Really, that's too deeep...I'm just glad he's not wearing a jock strap!  ;-)

JH is one of my fav artists, and this is one of my fav albums ever.  I still remember the day when I first got it, listened through the whole thing, and couldn't quite believe what a gem it was.

The cover, well, actually doesn't bother me so much.....okay, I am weird :)
