I came across my package design for a radio promo CD for Gillian Welch's Elvis Presley Blues (2001). Cover features a sneaky shakey photo I took at Graceland of one of the King's guitars.(You weren't supposed to take any photos.) Back features my ticket stub from Graceland tour with a photo I took of his pink Cadillacs inset.
