I recently read a Continuum 33 1/3 book on Big Star's Radio City album and it briefly mentioned that Alex Chilton asked Memphism-based photographer William Eggleston to provide a photo for the album cover. It seems that he has become somewhat in demand for album covers since then.
My friend Donald Eubank interviewed him for the Paris-Kyoto show that I went to today at the Hara Museum. I largely enjoyed the photos, however, I thought some of them were slightly pedestrian, but most had interesting colors, shadows, framing, or some other feature that made it interesting to look at. The drawings were a bit abstract for my tastes-but overall a worthwhile excursion.
