Song: The Buggy Boogie Woogie (11/15)
Album: Lick My Decals Off, Baby (1970)
Artist: Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Lick My Decals Off, Baby (Straight, 1970), Beefheart is the sole composer. In a way this is his most intellectual work, because the album takes the traditional topics of blues, eroticism, freedom, trains and nostalgia, and sets them in a modern context of city alienation. Percussionist Artie Tripp (aka Ed Marimba), is added as a formidable complement to French, while Cotton is gone to play in Merrell Fankhauser's MU.
The sound is still fragmented in a myriad of surrealistic miniatures, employing celebrations of Dolphyesque clarinets (Japan In A Dish-plan), of convulsed false notes (Ballerin Plain), of street rallies (The Smithsonian Institute Blues), of absurd guitar solos (One Rose That I Mean). The best of his chamber jazz-blues is found in I Love You Big Dummy, with splendid confrontations between the pirouettes of the clarinet and the gargles of the voice, and in Flash Gordon's Ape, a revolting chaos of anti-rhythms, breath dissonances and free declamations. Beefheart reaches surrealistic heights in The Buggy Boogie Woogie, a meditation in muted tones. Ethnic cues peek through in Peon, a Mexican serenade, and from Woe-is-uh-me-bop and Lick My Decals Off, both with Caribbean flavors.

Christ! This album is over 40 years old! One of the first I ever bought. As it's stashed away with my vinyl collection, I've not heard it for years....... but still remember just about every word.
Way before his time, The Cap'n has passed on way before his time too.
R.I.P.

~Oh Man, This brings back memories of hanging with the guys after school in Dave Mack's basement. I consider myself blessed and lucky for those times. RIP Captain~
