Free Music Review: The work of an absolute genious
Hit: 5 Stars
Hot Rats and "In a Silent Way" (Miles Davis) came out the same year. The second is recorded as the first fusion album ever, it created a totally new genre.
Well, Hot Rats is at the same level. It was only chance if what we call fusion now is the sound of "In A Silent Way" - it might have been this album as well.
If you like Zappa, this is a must-have. If you don't, you'd better listen this.
Hot Rats Poster
Frank Zappa's first solo album, Hot Rats is a far-cry from the da-da adventures and audio collages of the original Mothers of Invention. Mostly instrumental and filled with long jams between Zappa, Jean-Luc Ponty and Ian Underwood, this slickly-produced album--one of the first 16 track recordings made--is filled with hummable tunes. The opening track, "Peaches en Regalia," is one of Zappa's most enduring songs and the album's only vocal track, "Willie the Pimp," is by Zappa's long-time friend Don Van Vliet, a.k.a. Captain Beefheart. --Andrew BoscardinJazz Music CDs
