When Covers Collide

 May 18, 2026

   Ever sit around and wonder how we come up with our covers? Sometimes it starts with a simple Daily Whip Out, like this:

Daily Whip Out:

"Say Hey, Alchesay!"

   So, I emailed the high res artwork down to Dan and got this back a few minutes ago.

Dan's Alchesay mock up cover

   See how easy that was. Okay, hold that thought, because it's a tad more complicated. Turns out Stuart Rosebrook just turned in a barn burner story on how a couple of Texas outlaws saved our country fifty years ago. I know, I know. It's a bit of a left-field-wing-ding for us, but we just might feature that as our main cover story.

Dan's Willie mock up cover #2

"It was Willie Nelson singing at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas that brought the Hippies and the Rednecks together. . .creating the Hipnecks."

—Ray Wylie Hubbard, joking on stage with Jerry Jeff Walker about how Willie saved our Country
