beefheart & zappa 'orange claw hammer'

[1innamilliontoms]

Irish music by way of Bob Dylan,but still very much Beefheart.

[monte4utube]

Trout Mask Replica is the name of the album If you can find the LP version it is worth 75.00 it may have gone up now.

[olsen1957]

These guys are good, Thanks to Zappa & Beefheart

[MSYNGWIE12]

Long live ZAPPPA!

[saladfork8]

What has happened to our poets, where are they now that we need them the most?

[fireblossom2u]

Great find. Don had one of the most compelling voices no matter what he was doing.

[Sausahga]

Massive! FZ & CB!

[TUWUD]

the 2 greatest musicians of the 20th century together...epically

[briteness]

How have I never heard this before? It is fantastic. I think I like it more than the acappella version on Trout Mask, but this version would somehow not have fit on that album. Thank you for posting this here.

I like the picture in this, because you can just sort of make out Zappa but you know that it's him. Kind of like the way he is with some of his music, whether or not he's singing, you can still tell it's Zappa behind it all, putting his mark on it.

@atfsurrey an apostrophe?

[atfsurrey]

@ilikeylot567 lol, yes a very powerful apostrophe.

[dankitti]

One of my favorites with Zappa and Beefheart!

[zaytud]

Chords?



[glennrigby]

Many thanks for posting. Listen to this and then listen Neil Young's Last Trip to Tulsa, bookends to some great songwriting.

[alkoop100]

your website is great

thank you

[russthelegend57]

@alkoop100 Thank YOU!

[BeorhtFrognostic]

this is pretty awesome

[DiscordianDisciple27]

I cannot get over Beefheart's voice, I love hearing the range and character :) This and all the beat poetry makes me want to take off and find alien lands to explore

[dukethejuke]

The Mozart's of our day

[themoose65]

It's on Grow Fins Rarities.

[aylesburyfreak]

Oh my starfish! Why have I never come across this before?

[whitedwarf13]

When was this recorded?

[theredhackle22]

By Christ I thought I'd never find this again... My thanks to you Sir for sharing this

[TheHal2600]

Amazing!I just found this and the live performance of When Big Joan Sets UP!Too good to talk about.I'll just be, and retreat to a Jack n Coke to shove these feelings down...

[artistdavidstorey]

Extraordinary... classic American folk music from The Captain. If only he'd produced more 'un-plugged' work.

[russthelegend57]

I took this from a freebie sampler CD that the NME produced a few years back. Maybe reldditmot or oorag might know?

[fidget368]

@russthelegend57

i had that free cd as well but lost it.i think this is a better version than the one on trout mask replica.

[Porthlevenfan]

Where does this version come from, and how can l get hold of it?

[pomponfrais]

@Porthlevenfan looking for the same thing! that song is amazing

[danchee]

Bob Dylan needs to serve somebody, giving birth to 7 little Bobby babies with snappin' black eyes who are needed to serve somebody would be pretty dangerous.

[bwanna23]

Great lyrics! I'd like to hear Bob Dylan cover this.

[bugibbab0y]

This is better than on Trout Mask IMHO

[Markusistheman]

This is a really good version, I hope the Captain and the Zapman are now playing together again.

[TheMonkeybutler20]

@Markusistheman frank died in 1993 and beefheart died in 2010

[jefferyhoelscher]

@TheMonkeybutler20 I think he/she meant playing together in the not alive.
