Septet revisits catalog of Captain Beefheart turning out original-sounding covers. Lively jazzy, bluesy prog. Instrumentals except for 13,the live bonus track which features Robyn Hitchcock
Liner notes give good descriptions of these.. All tracks great
1. Great solo steel guitar instrumental, folk-blues
2.Swinging littlest big-band with a middle-eastern, prog sound. Only vocals are “9 to 5” chant around halfway point, after which it kicks into overdrive.
3.Squonky horns wail over guitars
4.swinging rock, straight-ahead guitar with sax singing
5.party getting started with smoke in the air. Lots of wah at the end
6.quiet intro, spacey echo, ambient. Builds to a solitary defiance
7.easygoing (manic end). A little wacky trumpet solo in here..
8.rock, mid-fast, guitars in lead, no horns
9.horns & percussion only in first third, Beth Custer/Moondog-esque. Guitar-only section in 2nd half. Mid-slow, some interesting rhythms.
10.crazed beat poetry low in mix
11.Horns having a party, quoting “Joy To the World” over rounds then grooving with guitar.
12.relaxing travels
13.Live recording. Weird blues, just steel guitar and vocal.
