Trout Mask Replica CD
During 1969, Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) and Frank Zappaās friendship was reaching new heights. FZ signed on to produce Donās next L.P. project, promising the artist total creative freedom. The result has gone on to become Captain Beefheartās masterpiece, āTrout Mask Replica,ā which has established itself over time as an important and historical work. The basic tracks for most of the albumās main musical compositions were recorded in one single studio session, only made possible by the meticulous and ācult-likeā rehearsals of the band for months whilst living together in a house in Woodland Hills, CA.Ā Ā The album was shunned upon itās initial release by critics and the public at large, but has proven itself to be hugely influential to many music, movie and television icons such as Tom Waits, Matt Groening and David Lynch to name a few. The album was added to the United States National Recording Registry by the Library Of Congress in 2011, further solidifying the work as one of the greatest albums of all time.
