Fred🎧 Band: Zappa/ Beefheart / Mothers
💿 Album: Bongo Fury
📅 Date: 1975
🌍 Country: Germany
🏷 Label: DiscReet – DIS 59 209
🎛 Original
Following the chronological Zappa discography, it's time for Bongo Fury.
A cooperation between Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and the Mothers.
Not one of my favourites, but there are a couple of good tracks. Is just too bluesy to my taste! Bringing two rock stars and their egos onto the same record is not a good formula either!
The album is mainly blues, and Beefheart takes the lead on most tracks. I do like Captain Beefheart, but in small doses. I do have about three of his records in my collection.
I dont think this album has brought something very interesting aside from tracks such as 200 Years Old, Cucamonga and the great track... Muffin Man. Zappa used this track many times to close down his shows, and it is a well deserved ending, especially that guitar solo. ;)
Live and raw, I think this record was produced to bring back memories of Cucamonga school times when Zappa and Beefheart spent their time playing R&B.
Personally, I think the album has more of Beehearth in it than Zappa or Mothers. I did come across some Zappa and Beefheart bootlegs before, but I always go back to my personal point of view... not working!
Not my favourite cup of coffee, but it has a sweet taste at the end, that's why it's on my shelf.
