Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Diddy Wah Diddy

[althevanner1]

Heard this for the first time on BBC 6 Music the other night, as they were doing a tribute. The bass line to this is something else! It's a shame I only got to know about him after his passing, but I'm going to look into the music from now on!

This song essentially started the Captain's career even though it was conventional compared to his later work. You will be missed Don say hi in Rock N' Roll heaven to fellow traveller Frank Zappa who you shared your early years with and as unique as they come as well
