Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

After several years, I have to say that yes, his masterpiece is truly "The Trout." A hymn to expressive freedom... really entertaining. It might be a bit too long, but songs like "Frawnland," "Ella Guru," "Dachau Blues," "Moonlight in Vermont," "China Pig," etcetera, etcetera, etcetera are now (to my ears, of course) CLASSICS. Then again, all the other albums are fantastic, so hats off to the great captain!

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band was the musical vehicle of Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart), an American singer and multi-instrumentalist also known as a painter. The group is best known for radical, blues-rooted experimentation, with Trout Mask Replica (1969) frequently cited as a landmark. Van Vliet later retired from recording and devoted himself to painting.
