Wes Freed was an artist best known for album covers, posters, and t-shirt designs for the Drive-By Truckers. His art was a great match for their music.

I’ll update this post with pictures of his work that I have copies of.

9/7 – I made a separate post of Wes Freed art

In Memory Of Artist Wes Freed: @JasonIsbell took a moment during Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit's encore in Charlottesville last night to dedicate "Decoration Day" to Freed who died on Sunday.

Sad news today about Wes Freed, who painted nearly all of the @drivebytruckers covers and was just a kickass human being. He graciously donated the Cooley bird image that was used as the cover of my book — an act of generosity that still moves me. A truly incalculable loss pic.twitter.com/Nlg5vG5Sh5
