Album Description:
Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 1969 album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, blues, and garage rock to free jazz and avant-garde experimentalism. Warner Brothers Records.

A colleague of Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) and his Magic Band produced some of the most eccentric music of the late 1960s--or, for that matter, ever. The high water mark of Beefheart's bizarre career, this double album of freeform "Dada rock" features such daunting tracks as "Pachuco Cadaver," "Hair Pie (Bakes 1 and 2)," and "Neon Meat Dream of an Octafish," all of which actually sound as unusual as their titles. Between Beefheart's mind-bending lyrics and cavernous voice, as well as the twisted playing of guitarists Zoot Horn Rollo and Antennae Jimmy Semens, bassist Rockette Morton and drummer The Mascara Snake, this album fully explains the expression "far out." --Billy Altman

Trout Mask Replica is an exploration of musical daring, worthwhile for any music lover but don't expect to be soothed to sleep, this demands your attention!

Thought I would make a few comments about this album just for a laugh. It is a long album - nearly 80 minutes. It is all gripping. Lyrics excellent. music excellent. vocals excellent. There are a lot of references to animals. beefheart used to sculpt animals lol. There is amazing balance in the rhythms and is all very natural. People go on about the weirdness of the music but it is actually mainly the words and vocals that give this album the edge. Beefheart is an unusual guy and his words reflect ... Read More

I've read reviews of this -- long, wordy -- people trying to EXPLAIN this work of art. Well I'm sorry but that's just stupid. Just listen.

In 1968 or thereabouts, as an impressionable and marginally-adjusted adolescent, I was handed a psychoactive substance of unknown origin (kids, don't try this at home)--and an hour later the hander of said substance was playing "Trout Mask Replica" on his dad's stereo. I'm amused when I hear the so-called psychedelic music of the time--this bent my mind permanently and more truly fit the bill of "psychedelic" music, even though it was natural insanity without artificial enhancement, what he was doing. ...
