This book examines how Beefhearts incomparable opus, an album that divided (rather than) united a pop audience, is informed by a variety of diverse sources. Trout Mask Replica is a hybrid of poetic declarations inspired by both Walt Whitman and the beat poets, the field hollers of the Delta Blues, the urban blues of Howlin Wolf, the gospel blues of Blind Willie Johnson, and the free jazz of Ornette Coleman. This book illustrates how Trout Mask Replica was not so much an arcane specimen of the avant-garde, but rather a defiantly original declaration of the American imagination. Putting music into words is hard enough, but crafting words to adequately express an album as complicated, multilayered and ineffable as Trout Mask Replica must count as the Everest of music criticism. The album itself has infuriated and ingratiated those brave enough to both acknowledge its existence and actually let their cochleas jangle to all of its angularity and often frightening unfamiliarity. Those who last for more than a few listens may find themselves personally changed by the experience. Though the indescribable album definitely has precedents in earlier avant-garde music, the music industry, and especially the rock genre, has simply never produced anything like it before or since. It stands pretty much alone in its singular and individualistic expression.Of course such treasures often come at a price, as the extremely readable and adequately sized 33 1/3 Trout Mask Replica installment points out. Freedom of expression, or so it seems in this case, came at the cost of extreme tyranny over the musical process and the people involved in it. So goes the paradoxes of existence, good sometimes emerges from evil, and vice versa, and freedom sometimes emerges from tyranny and vice versa. If the cacophonous album exudes any one overarching feeling, it exudes the intangibility and slipperiness with which we hold on to reality and that nagging feeling that things are not what they seem. Its a challenging and often uncomfortable listen for newcomers. But that same and almost paranoid claustrophobic feeling can eventually emerge into a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. Long time listeners to Trout Mask Replica also speak of the joy emanating from the music that often sounds like the Large Hadron Collider crapping its pants. Something utterly new and affirmative happened here, regardless of the situation from which it arose.The small, some 150-page 33 1/3 volume doesnt dwell on the negatives. It does shatter many myths, some of which were already shattered, and tries to paint a complete picture of the creative process. Stories of Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart, from the time of Trout Mask Replicas recording, have become horrifyingly legendary. He allegedly sought total control, which apparently included control over the minds and behavior of his supporting band. Dictatorial and emotionally manipulative techniques were sometimes applied, according to those present. Still, the band seemed fervently dedicated to the project at hand, as though they knew this was the process needed to create something astonishingly unique and willingly acquiesced. The band, of course, played a huge role in the creation of Trout Mask Replica. Most of them, quoted at length in the book from various sources, seem very proud of their accomplishment. They should be.Short breezy chapters cover varying aspects of this incalculable masterpiece. The preface relays the authors own personal experience with the album. And then the memoir, though interesting, stops. It would have become uninteresting quickly had it continued and permeated the entire book. Then the backstory begins, and the book covers loads of it, including numerous influences from blues, jazz and the visual arts. Clashing, at first harmoniously, biographies of Van Vliet and producer Frank Zappa fill the next few chapters. They were intimately connected by a Webcor recording device. A quick tour through the making of Captain Beefheart and His Magic Bands first few recordings, from Diddy Wah Diddy to Strictly Personal, ensues. Then the band moves into the famous house on Ensenada Drive and the seeds of Trout Mask Replica are sown. Then the drama begins which ultimately ends in the now infamous 1969 album. Chapter Six provides a song-by-song analysis of the entire album. A final epilogue places the album in the context of its time. Essentially, it doesnt sound like it exists in any context and it more or less ignored the world and cultural happenings outside of itself. In fact, someone with no knowledge of the album would probably have a hard time dating it upon first listen. It sounds both modern and classic. Nonetheless, it seems almost impossible to imagine Trout Mask Replica happening at any other time and receiving the attention it received, though sparse in comparison to most popular music. So though it doesnt sound like a product of the late 1960s, it is definitely a product of the late 1960s.Though actually listening to Trout Mask Replica isnt a prerequisite for reading the 33 1/3 installment, its difficult to imagine deriving a lot from the book without first experiencing the unimaginable music. Fans who have read other sources may not find much new here, but they will find the story presented in a very compact and easily digestible form. Those who have just arrived at the album will find the book a near perfect introduction. Lastly, this book appeared before Don Van Vliets death in 2010. It instead ends with his musical exile to a trailer somewhere in California, where he dedicated himself to painting. But a final quote from critic Roberto Ohrt aptly sums up Van Vliets artistic output: The voice of Don Van Vliet, alias Captain Beefheart, was a signal and a proof that something else was possible - that nothing has to stay the way it is. In 1969, Van Vliet and his band demonstrated that beyond question. And things havent quite stayed the same since.
