Our Take

Ah, what a delightful cacophony of chaotic brilliance we have here with MAGIC BAND's rendition of the legendary Captain Beefheart's music. As if the original maestro himself wasn't enough of a wild sonic ride, this album takes it to a whole new level of eccentricity.

From the moment the first notes of "Sure 'Nuff 'n Yes I Do" hit your ears, you know you're in for a treat. The MAGIC BAND does justice to Beefheart's unconventional song structures and surreal lyrics, bringing a fresh energy to timeless classics like "Zig Zag Wanderer" and "Abba Zaba".

The frenetic energy of the band is palpable throughout the entire album, with each member showcasing their exceptional musical prowess. Drummer John "Drumbo" French's intricate rhythms drive the music forward, while guitarist Denny "Feelers Rebo" Walley injects blistering solos that would make Beefheart proud.

But it's not all about technical proficiency with MAGIC BAND – there's a playful irreverence that runs through their interpretation of Beefheart's music. Tracks like "Electricity" and "China Pig" are delivered with a cheeky charm that is impossible to resist.

In a world of cookie-cutter pop bands and formulaic songwriting, MAGIC BAND stands out as a beacon of creativity and individuality. So gather round, dear readers, and let yourself be transported to the wonderfully weird world of Captain Beefheart through the eyes of these musical mavericks. You won't regret it.
