Bongo Fury

• New Store Stock

In 1975, Frank Zappa released this album together with his old companion Captain Beefheart. Bongo Fury is considered the creative highlight of the two Californian underground heroes. Zappa's guitar resonates to unimaginable heights, flanked by Beefheart's surrealistic, half-spoken, half-sung prose. Bongo Fury is an amalgam of live recordings from the last tour of Zappa with the Mothers (in their early 1970s cast) and several previously recorded studio tracks (from the sessions of One Size Fits All). The album marks a turning point in Zappa's discography. Drummer Terry Bozzio (Jeff Beck, Debbie Harry, KoRn) is on board for the first time. The influence of Beefheart and Bozzio Bongo Fury may have steered from the waters of long fury instrumental fusion jams. Apart from the brilliant “Advance Romance”, testosteronic rockers such as “Debra Kadabra” and “Caroline Hard-Core Ecstasy” dominate. On the LP, Zappa also finds its way back to his R&B roots.
