COUNTRY AND WESTERN ALBUM COVERS

Typical Country and Western music album covers have their own conventions as well. These include such things as the representations of the backgrounds, props and font of the title.
In these two album covers we se that the backgrounds are representing an outside/barn setting. This shows to the consumer how being outside meets one of the conventions of the music being that they are in touch with nature and freedom.
As well as this the typical album conventions to country and western music would include what the artist is wearing. A cowboy hat would be considered as a typical necessity, however, within the Glen Campbell album cover he is not wearing a hat which could be considered as going against the conventions.
