Captain Beeheart - Bat Chain Puller

Captain Beefheart- Bat Chain Puller

Zappa and Captain Beefheart were high school friends and worked together occasionally, I will post a few reviews about Captain Beefheart Albums, since there is a conection to Frank.

Zappa's "Bongo Fury" is when I first heard of "the Captain". I heard this was something worth listening too and omg, it's like a new awakening for me. I imagine this is in the veign of a "musician's musician" which flatters me quite honestly. I am a big fan of Zappa, but this is more, it's as though Zappa was trying to do what is done on this release and needs to be done no further. I've listened to it now about 10 x the past week or so and still have no idea what it is, but it's real, it is here, it is now!
Let's say you were born an undeniable genius. Let's say that Trout Mask Replica was your cave art. You spend the next nine years a voice crying in the wilderness. Then, a magical time comes when you are at the zenith of both your talent and your vision, and you are blessed to be surrounded by people who can help you fully express them. It's too big for just one record. It takes three albums, and five years to unleash this creative bang. Shiny Beast, Doc At the Radar Station, and Ice Cream for Crow, are the three stars in Orion's belt. Each one is a masterpiece, and together they tower above all else. The workings of a brilliant mind distilled into three small packages. Nothing even comes close! No! I'm sorry, talk to the hand!
