    Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappawere in a band called the Soots in 1963 and 1964. During that time, they recorded the blues shuffle “Metal Man Has Won His Wings.” The lyrics were derived from a comic book pinned to a bulletin board. The Captain just rattled them off as the band played this live in another room.

    This is a pretty straight but heavy distorted bass rock cover of Bo Diddley’s classic released in 1966; the recording of which still sounds quite current. A&M Records who signed The Magic Band at the time wanted to make the Captain into some sort of Mick Jagger. It didn’t work. Selected tracks from the album Trout Mask Replica (1969):

    I remember hearing this abstract song on a radio show Zappa and Beefheart syndicated in 1975. I laughed my ass off. Its rhythmic drive is so bizarrely funky and the lyrics so twisted. I was immediately a fan.

    This bizarre tune with the bouncy rhythm and cartoon sounding vocals is actually pretty catchy. I don’t know who Ella is but she sure sounds young. XTCdid an amazing replica of this piece in a tribute album to the Van Vliet.

    What can I say? This is what it might sound like if you lived in a pool vacuum hose. Amazing and it doesn’t have that stale after taste.

    Music from the insane asylum. You need to hear it just so you can say you heard it. Somehow The Captain taught the band to pull this off. “Fast ‘n bulbous. Bulbous also tapered… That’s right.”

    One of the few instrumentals found on T.M.R. and a rewarding listen. Zoot Horn Rollo a gifted guitarist, capable bass player Rocket Morton and the virtuoso drummer Drumbo really shine here as they tackle the Captain’s intricate rhythms and microscopic melodies along with Beefheart’s Ornette Coleman type sax playing. There is a clear form here but i...

    This swampy blues with heavy distorted guitar spouts lyrics are typical of Van Vliet’s talent for surreal imagery and nonsequiturs. He sings it with the religious fervor of a mad evangelist. The phrase “Gimme dat old time religion” takes on a whole other meaning here. From the album Lick My Decals Off Me Baby (1970):

    Clever wordplay surrounds this short piece that is a deconstruction of the blues form. In spots the marimba is reminiscent of Frank Zappa but is rendered even more idiosyncratic with Beefheart’s Howling Wolfvocals. From the album Spotlight Kid (1972):

    This is a straight-ahead blues piece that sounds like its rhythm is derived from a train. Mesmerizing. The basic intervals of the groove always remind me of Led Zeppelin’s “Misty Mountain Hop.”
