Liner notes in a streaming age

Tidal is enjoyable, but I am sorely missing liner notes.  Who was that engineer, what mikes did he use, who played that amazing B3 solo, is that a Randy Newman tune?  That sort of stuff.  Sometimes I want to pore over the lyric or cover art (remember Blue Cheer's Outsideinside?).  Is there a source for album art/notes that I can tap while listening to Tidal?

Thanks, Dbtom2, I wasn't aware of that feature in Tidal.  I'll give it a try on my iPad.

Makes me wonder, though, if there's anything on the web that serves this purpose.  Sometimes I listen to internet radio stations that have little information except a track title.

@77jovian I use Allmusic.com to get fairly good coverage of artist's bios, album discography, and critical popularity. 

For me, the quality of info is even worth tolerating their popups and endless sidebar videos. Good stuff to drill down to.

This is something that I wish I could get on Spotify.
