In this episode of My Rock Moment, I’m joined by legendary album cover artist Larry Vigon, whose work has helped define the visual identity of some of the most iconic albums in rock history. With more than 200 album covers to his name, Larry has worked with Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Chicago and Counting Crows. He's also in the Album Cover Hall of Fame.

We dive deep into Larry’s connection to Fleetwood Mac and explore the making of the Rumours cover and the bold creative shift that came with Tusk. Larry also opens up about designing early work for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the distinct identity behind 'August and Everything After,' and how he approached creating visuals that could stand the test of time.

Larry shares stories from attending both days of the T.A.M.I. Show in 1964 and near collaborations with Madonna and Tori Amos.

We also talk about his latest exhibition, Aquean, on view at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum through July 26th. This multimedia exhibition explores the ocean as a metaphor for time, change, and the balance between permanence and loss along the California coast.

This is a fascinating conversation about creativity, collaboration, and being behind the scenes of some of the most important moments in music history.
