Zappa question

I've always admired the playing of his bands, never particularly loved the music. Recently spun up "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" after reading about it here on 'gon and something finally registered. It's now in regular rotation, with "Guitar" up next.

Where would you point me after that?

TIA,

Marty

Toss "Zoot Allures" in the pot if not already.

Check out "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" and the track, Orange County Lumber Truck. Also, the movie soundrack recording from "2000 Motels". Frank was a genious. Glad "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" clicked for you. It has long been a favorite of mine. I love AyBeSea and The Little House I Used to Live In. In my opinion, "Reuben and the Jets" is one of the most romantic albums ever recorded. From "Uncle Meat", the King Kong tracks are worth special attention. Check out, "Yellow Shark" and "Strictly Genteel", as well.

How about Mothers Fillmore East?

So much good material. A prolific musician. Tremendous diversity.

Pick up a biography and read about him. A pretty amazing guy. Definitely will gain greater insight about the man. I read Zappa by Barry Willis, not this best book I ever read but informative.

Best,

Dave
