Free Music Notes for Hot Rats
Free Music Review: My favorite Zappa album
Hit: 5 Stars
Fabulous album, Zappa and Ian Underwood go overdub mad on tracks laid down live-in-studio by incredible rhythm sections, using one of the first 16 track recorders. The composing - both the underlying songs and the arrangements and layers and doublings that seem to have been created during overdubs - is amazing. Combines great musicianship, balls to the wall playing and just a tiny touch of the arch sense of humor Zappa is known for. A total classic. My only criticism is that I prefer the mix from the old LP version. The CD-era remix brings out the filligree of detail, which is nice, but lacks some of the warmth and grooviness of the LP. The perfect Zappa album for jazzers and people who find his lyrics (tailored, by his own account, for 13 year old boys) ultimately tiresome.
Hot Rats Poster
Imported from Japan by Rykodisc.Packaged in deluxe mini-album jacket sleeves, these 10 classic albums by rock legend FRANK ZAPPA are now available as limited edition Japanese Imports! These packages re-create the original vinyl packaging in miniaturized form!
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 Boscardin
