Whiskey Riff’s Best Country Album Artworks of 2023

• Honey, y’all better whip out your monocle ’cause we’re judging some art today! Whiskey Riff announced their top picks for the best country album covers of 2023.
• The front page pretties feature the likes of Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, and newcomer, Daisy May.
• Miranda Lambert snatched the wildest cover category with her album ‘No Going Back’. It’s got a big ol’ rattlesnake coiling around a crystal ball–spooky stuff for a gal who sings sweeter than a peach cobbler.
• Blake Shelton came on top with his ‘Fly High or Dive Deep’ album cover, which earned him the ‘most summer vibe’ category. It’s about time that boy brought some sunshine!
• Fresh-faced Daisy May stirred up the rankings, claiming ‘most creative album cover’ for ‘Rompin’ Stomp’. This little spitfire illustrated an old tobacco barn dancing with a banjo playin’, corn squeezin’ moonshiner. Ain’t that kind of magic just classic country?

My ‘Hot-as-a-July-in-Texas’ Take

Well darlin’, I reckon this round of album covers gave us plenty of eye-candy this year. We got mystery with our sweet Miranda, summer vibes from the hunky Blake, and a good ol’ runnin’ romp from chippy Daisy May.

What do I reckon? These folks didn’t just serenade us with their lullabies, but they sure brought some delight to our eyeballs with their razzle-dazzle covers. And it’s like mama always said, “The first bite’s taken with the eye.” So, keep servin’ up these visual treats, y’all. Whether it’s Miranda’s snakin’ shocker of a cover or Daisy’s barnyard ballet. I say, keep the album art quirks coming! Nothing like cracking open a new CD case expecting to just see some smiling country star, and instead finding you’ve got a front-row seat at the rodeo!
