On The Spotlight Kid, Captain Beefheart took over full production duties.
Rather than returning to the artistic aggro of Trout Mask/Decals days,
Spotlight takes things lower and looser, with a lot of typical Beefheart fun crawling around in weird, strange ways.
Consider the ominous opening cut "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" -- it isn't just the title
and Beefheart's breathy growl, but Rockette Morton's purring bass, Zoot Horn Rollo's snarling guitar,
Ed Marimba's brisk fade on the cymbals again and again, and more.
The overall atmosphere is definitely relaxed and fun, maybe one step up from a jam...(AllMusic)
