he was way too weird for me to get into, i was too impatient to get into his music

but yeh... this picture->

went onto become a background setting to one of the more famous backdrops in rock and roll history, especially for the baby boomers

RIP, was truly a musical visionary. 40 years on and Trout Mask Replica has not been imitated or replicated in any form. Ahead of his time.

True pioneer. Howlin Wolf Champion. Tried many times to listen to Trout Mask, everything else by the Capatain is awesome.

Sick for a while so it's no real surprise, still sad day for music fans.

Trout Mask was indeed the most challenging and fascinating albums I've come across. A truly unforgettable artist.

Fast and Bulbous.

R.I.P.

Great resource for many years.

PJ Harvey will be in mourning.

Not unexpected with his illness. Some excellent music and weird art to enjoy.

A fair innings from the captain.

 

[Oakland Raider]

Voice range 5 octaves. Amazing talent.

*Bump*

Bought the Mirror Man Sessions and Unconditionally Guaranteed yesterday afternoon and listened to them overnight. Still listening now in fact.

What an absolute genius this man was.

There just isn't anything you can compare it too. A thing of true beauty the Captains music.

RIP.

Just gave his 1967 debut Safe as Milk a whirl
some pretty ****ing incredible tight..but still loose junkyard blues rock. love it

gotta love the humor in them late 60's albums..
gives me the same feeling mothers of inventions Freak Out! does.. but a bit less goofy and little darker
