Side Two is the fourteenth solo album by Adrian Belew, released in 2005. It was recorded in his home studio and he played all the instruments himself.
It is part of a series of albums. The other three are Side One, Side Three and Side Four. This album features the song "Dead Dog On Asphalt", inspired by the event (and Belew's cover painting of said event) mentioned below.
Cover artwork
Previously, Adrian Belew was driving his truck and nearly hit a dog, when another ended up in front of him and couldn't get away. He had always wanted to be a painter, but never had something that he was inspired to paint. After dragging the dead dog off the road, he decided that he knew what he should paint. The result of this is the album's cover: resembling a 'dead dog on asphalt' (the opening track).[2]
