OUTTA SEASON [LP]

Outta Season is a heavy blues album produced by Tina Turner and Bob Krasnow. The controversial album cover features the Turners (Ike on the front and Tina on the back) in whiteface eating watermelon. The art direction was by Tom Wilkes and photography by Barry Feinstein.As a sarcastic statement, Amos and Andy are credited for the design & photography on the album due to the history of the characters being portrayed by white actors wearing blackface in the film Check and Double Check.
The album contains the track "I Am a Motherless Child," which is based on the spiritual "City Called Heaven". The first single, "I've Been Loving You Too Long," peaked at No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 23 on the Billboard R&B chart in April 1969. The second single "Crazy 'Bout You Baby" was only released in the UK.
