Influential figure who fused disparate forms (free jazz, the avant-garde, blues, rock) into a highly original and nearly unclassifiable style.

Born Don Vliet, Captain Beefheart was one of modern music's true innovators. 

The owner of a remarkable four-and-a-half-octave vocal range, he employed idiosyncratic rhythms, absurdist lyrics, 

and an unholy alliance of free jazz, Delta blues, latter-day classical music, and rock & roll to create a singular 

body of work virtually unrivaled in its daring and fluid creativity. While he never came even remotely 

close to mainstream success, Beefheart's impact was incalculable, 

and his fingerprints were all over punk, new wave, and post-rock

Beefheart's first proper studio album is a much more accessible, pop-inflected brand of blues-rock 

than the efforts that followed in the late '60s -- which isn't to say that it's exactly normal and straightforward. 

Featuring Ry Cooder on guitar, this is blues-rock gone slightly askew, with jagged, fractured rhythms, 

soulful, twisting vocals from Van Vliet, and more doo wop, soul, straight blues, 

and folk-rock influences than he would employ on his more avant-garde outings. 

"Zig Zag Wanderer," "Call on Me," and "Yellow Brick Road" are some 

of his most enduring and riff-driven songs, although there's plenty
