"All the Songs from Walt Disney's Uncle Remus" is a 1959 album that features music from the film "Song of the South", which is based on the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris. The album includes 12 songs that capture the spirit of the American South, with a blend of folk, gospel, and bluegrass music.
The design featured on the cover of the album is largely art-based, depicting Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit, with butterflies, geometric floral motifs and identifying type. This album is from the pre-constructivism era and displays the foundations of modern album design. Though it is a largely picture-based album cover, the elements of abstract florals and typography do display the goals of album covers: to entice listeners, to communicate clear information, and to capture the essence of the album.
