Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention : Absolutely Free
The second
Mothers Of Invention album,
originally released in 1967,
continues Zappa's musical combo
of rock/satire/jazz/doo-wop and more.
With society at large
still reeling from the assault of
FREAK OUT!,
Zappa went a
few steps further with
"Brown Shoes Don't Make It"
and
"Plastic People"
two of his most
pointed satirical pieces,
and concert standards
for many years to come;
as was the
cheerful surrealism of
"Call Any Vegetable."
The Mothers consisted of
Jimmy Carl Black,
Ray Collins,
Roy Estrada,
Bunk Gardner,
Billy Mundi,
Don Preston
and
Motorhead Sherwood -
heard here in all their glory.
At the time of
ABSOLUTELY FREE's
release,
Zappa and company made a
stab at hit-singledom
with a seven-inch release
of two otherwise-unavailable tracks,
"Why Don'tcha Do Me Right?"
and
"Big Leg Emma,"
both of which are
included here.
