Captain Beefheart - Kandy Korn
Recorded in 1967, the Mirror Man album took four years to see the light of day. It's the Magic Band at their bluesiest, sounding like a cheap transistor radio tuned into the ravings of some clubfooted Delta prodigy. It's not as out there as some Beefheart's seminal 1970s recordings, but the seeds of his mutant blues/rock/jazz style are all in here. I love John French's drumming on Kandy Korn, the way he crashes and rolls the rhythm, creating a rocky bed for the rest of the band to stumble over. While it's essentially a jam, and as such doesn't really go anywhere, it's still bursting with raw, primal proto-music.
