I don't understand people who say he can't sing - Beefheart's got an amazing primal blues voice!...
-
I suppose he was to music what Salvador Dali was to painting.

Colorful words used to put it right in the establishment face; like a 'Back at Yeh' Brilliant way for sure. LOVE the melody and lyrics of TRUTH. :-))) Thanks Beefheart for telling it like IT IS.. All of us today speaking truth are called weird too and loony to boot. What a Hoot. OMG I became a poet too. :-))) LOVE you Dear Music making BEing of love. TO the angel that shared this tune. LOVE to you too. Yep. cannot run away from love; it is allll around you; Yep and in tunes like this.;-)))

@garganeo not in the way you've been programmed to believe is singing.

This dude was a true artist.

@Abracadab5 ever been to a buckethead show?

@garganeo It's not his singing that makes him good, I think he sings horrible as well. But it's his originality, the way he just makes the music WORK. The stuff he made would be a miserable mess if it was performed by somebody else, Beefheart was brilliant because he gave it a certain form of structure.
That's why he is respected and enjoyed by many people, including me!

As Jimmy Carl Black once put it: Frank is good but Captain Beefeart is the real deal



Such a shame that there aren't more peolpe around like Beefheart! The world would be a much better place!

I love Beefheart's music first and foremost. The fact that he still polarises opinion about himself is just the icing on the cake. Nothing quite like enjoying something and someone starts whining "This is crap. It's just nooiise". There, there. Go back to listening to something safe and linear.
