Captain Beefheart: Click Clack



We came across a very interesting group today, Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. Wow. I mean, this is a kind of blues that I've never heard before. Reminds me of an incantation, along with a hypnotic "Bo Diddley" beat. If ya'll know who Frank Zappa is, he produced Captain Beefheart and his band, for the two were friends in High School in Lancaster, CA. Now you may cringe, at his voice, but try and listen from a bluesy standpoint, and this band just sounds great. For what it's worth, may be a stretch, something different. Here is their song "Click Clack" performed in Paris in 1973.
