Probably one of the most creative, imaginative, and somewhat odd artist has truly passed away today. At 69, Captain Beefheart has now truly become a legend.
I remember getting sucked into his maniacal grooves off the Shiny Beast Bat Chain Puller album and just being mesmerized with "Tropical Hot Dog Night". Prior to that, my only sort of connection to his music was found in bands like the Butthole Surfers and the Minutemen, two bands I still worship to this day. They praised Beefheart to the point where I had to hear this band, being utterly amazed by his work. With that in mind, I leave behind the tracks that got me started with Mr. Beefheart, as a tribute. God speed sir....
