From Wikipedia:

“Murder Most Foul” is a song by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, the 10th and final track on his 39th studio album, Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020). It was released as the album's lead single on March 27, 2020, through Columbia Records. The song addresses the assassination of John F. Kennedy in the wider context of American political and cultural history. Lasting 16 minutes, 56 seconds, it is the longest song he has ever released, eclipsing 1997’s “Highlands” which runs for 16 minutes, 31 seconds.

The blackletter typeface chosen for the cover art is Goudy Text. Designed and cut by Frederic W. Goudy in 1928 and initially named Goudy Black, it was adopted by Monotype who changed the name and added a Shaded (handtooled) style. Goudy Text was already used for the cover of Dylan’s 2017 album, Triplicate.
