I had not heard of this guy, Paul Davis. But nosing around, it seems this guy had three very popular AM radio hits of the '70's and early '80's: I Go Crazy, Cool Night, and 65 Love Affair. None of those songs on are this record. But what a cool record cover this is. The above photo is how the record looks from the front - opened. The shirt opens (photo below) right at the snaps and inside we get this look of a saloon with swingnig doors.
The photo below is how the cover looks with the shirt closed.
Paul Davis was actually a rougher looking dude than one would have thought - based on the soft and mellow songs he became known for. He passed away in 2008 at the age of 60. The other cool thing about this totally unique record cover is that the denim seams in the shirt are embossed (in relief) and so the jacket actually has a denim feel to it. Seems like he was quite the songwriter too. Every song on the record was written by Paul Davis, except Southern Man (Neil Young) and Thank You Shoes, by Stephen Dorff/Milton Brown. This is on BANG records, a Division of Web IV Music, Inc. on 2107 Faulkner Road, NE, Atlanta GA 30324.
