“Said the Mama to the baby in the corn/’You are my first-born/That shall hereon in be known/As the Spotlight Kid.'” That’s how the title song of this album begins, and one glance at the picture on the cover — Cap natty in Las Vegas jacket, with a knowing almost-smile on his face — reveals a man with the self-understanding and self-confidence to bill himself as a new-generational hero with no false pride.
不要误会，这绝对是新的观众，即反馈和趴齿形的那些，那Beefheart船长所属。雷竞技ios下载他一直打电话过去一切从一个人浪费是世界上最伟大的白人蓝调歌手，到不可能的复杂的音乐家谁可能或不可能是真正前卫的清晰能力，但肯定是一个精英的味道。While I have always held to the opinion that there’s been nothing playing on the face of the earth as far out as Beefheart for about 3 or 4 years now, I also recognize that his former style was a bit beyond the attention span or interest of the average listener. Which is certainly not to slight mass tastes, either; after all, why should things have to be as far out as possible all the time?
这张专辑是Beefheart雷竞技ios下载队长的回答这个问题。It is the most accessible thing he’s recorded since Safe as Milk (remember the single of “Diddy Wah Diddy”? Captain Beefheart makes hits!), and goes back to his most primal roots for much of its inspiration, proving once and for all that not only is Captain Beefheart almost certainly the supreme white blues singer of our era, but he knows how to take that gift and combine it with his supra-blues musical vision sliced down to bone basics, and come up with vital, immediate, funky rock ‘n’ roll.
其原创几乎是完整的，虽然船长正踩着水毗邻的他的一些最强大的同时代撑杆这些天。例如，对于语言和声乐mysterioso的影响，他在这张专辑更像医生约翰·比斯利·斯通的某些部分听起来不上有一个防暴布莱恩。自始至终，然而，Beefheart智慧和天才表现出来。“I’m Gonna Booglarize Ya, Baby” is a song riding in on a tense, edgy riff, telling a story about Vital Willy and Weepin’ Milly driving around and around in Will’s car in the night (the first line is “The moon was a drip on a dark hood”), looking for a secluded place to park. Finally, in desperation, Milly tells Willy that they can go to her house, and Beefheart comments: “Tush! Tush! You lose your push/When you beat around the bush!”
而在奇数的时刻折中蠕变的提示，它是蓝色和R＆B的邋遢形式选择位于此相册的心脏。“白大灌篮”与中国的冠冕堂皇的马林巴琴即兴打开，像瓷器雨滴打破门槛，然后用完美的有机逻辑又陷入非常低调的竖琴和高Beefheart假声一锯不羁。“当它吹其堆栈”是建立在一个基本的吉他riff值得马克·法纳的不祥的歌曲。With each chorus, the guitar builds from its initial simple advance to wirier, more complex backups for Beefheart’s stark, threatening vocal that seems to be about some angry god: “When it blows its stacks/He don’t pussyfoot around/Hide all the women…”
一端有两个Beefheart得到更加深入到一个类似于传统的蓝色，尤其是最后三首歌曲;船长从来没有听起来更像是嚎叫的狼比他在这里，他总是有狼的吼叫和嚎叫到虚拟超越的点。在专辑的最好的事情，明智地选择了一个B / W“Booglarize你，”是“点击瓣”。这是真正的火车音乐，用在吉他和竖琴鼓和口哨声栈桥：“一个[火车]布莱恩/而另外一个马上就要回来了，”作为帽唱歌。节奏是坚持和推进，在这样的歌曲的伟大传统，“列车保持了，罗林”和Lou Reed的的‘火车拐弯。’The mutated Chicago South Side harp heard throughout much of the album enters, the guitars begin pushing at the riffs’ edges, and “Train was goin’ up the track/You was leavin’/I could see you wavin’ yer handkerchief” is described in a hypnotically redundant guitar riff like the obsessive replay of an old memory.
总会有一个在每一个流行音乐家谁也恰好是一个严肃的艺术家，当他意识到为最强烈的个人型群众诉求的声明和音乐之间的平衡需要的职业生涯的时间。如果他能够取得这种平衡不会影响他的正直，他可能比以前怀疑甚至他最坚定的球迷更大的艺术家，并在所有接触任何公众会立即拿起他是做什么的真与美。凭借这张专辑，Beefheart上雷竞技ios下载尉击中完全成功的平衡，当然，如果他一年一个大明星从现在开始我不会感到惊讶。虽然你可能已经有很大的阴影，现在徘徊在我们的音乐半十年，唐，它可以说是在1972年你已经真正到来。
