Baby Snakes Music Review

Average Rating: (2 out of 5 stars) 2 stars

2 stars One of Frank's Worst Albums
The appeal when BS was first released was the picture disk that you could fetish. In addition, Warner Bros had to edit Punky's Whips down on Live in NY, so BS offered a complete version. This CD has a sparse offering of poorly recorded songs. You would be much better off buying the DVD of the same name.

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention Cruising With Ruben & The Jets CD (1968) Remastered

Baby Snakes songs

$7.25

Having blown the music world's mind with the Mothers, Frank Zappa made a left turn to indulge his childhood love of doo-wop. Recording with the rest of the Mothers, he created CRUISING WITH RUBEN & THE JETS, an album of "greasy love songs and cretin simplicity." It is also an album of authentically performed doo-wop songs that might have even been hits had they been recorded a decade earlier. From the falsetto voice singing of unrequited love, street-corner background harmonies and "Earth Angel"- styled narratives ...

Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention Burnt Weeny Sandwich CD (1969) Remastered

Baby Snakes album
For Sale Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, November 17, 2009

$6.38

The Mothers Of Invention includes: Frank Zappa (vocals, guitar, organ); Sugar Cane Harris (violin); Ian Underwood, Don Preston (piano). BURNT WEENY SANDWICH would be Frank Zappa's last album released in the Sixties (December of 1969, to be exact). Having just split up the original Mothers of Invention line-up, Zappa decided to sift through tapes of unused tracks by the band, which ultimately comprised BURNT WEENY SANDWICH (another compilation of outtakes, WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH, would be issued one year later). The majority of the album is instrumental, and contains both live and studio material. Although the songs didn't surface the first time around, these aren't throwaways--many worthwhile Zappa cuts reside here. The only compositions to contain vocals are the album's opener, "WPLJ," ...

Frank Zappa Chunga's Revenge CD (1970) Remastered

Baby Snakes CD music
For Sale Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, November 17, 2009

$6.38

This 1970 release finds Zappa and band at the apex of their improvisational powers. CHUNGA'S REVENGE largely eschews both high concept and satire in order to focus on the considerable jamming expertise of Zappa and his cohorts. In its original LP form, the album was divided into two discrete halves. The first side consists of extended, largely instrumental pieces where Zappa and his musicians stretch out and show off their improv chops over relatively simple, often blues-based structures. The keyboard-based instrumental interlude "Twenty Small Cigars" provides an interesting semi-classical change of pace. Side two contains shorter, vocal-oriented numbers, with harmonies that draw on the doo-wop influence of Zappa's youth (a recurrent element in his work). Slightly schizophrenic though it may be, CHUNGA'S REVENGE is something of a showcase for the members of Zappa's group, displaying their vocal and instrumental interaction to fine effect. Japanese version featuring a limited ...

Frank Zappa Grand Wazoo CD (1972) Remastered

Baby Snakes MP3 Album
For Sale Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, November 17, 2009

$6.38

This album appeared within the same year as WAKA/JAWAKA and continued Zappa's exploration of the possibilities for composing and arranging material for a big band with a hefty brass and reed section. Both albums were produced during the period in which he was recuperating from injuries sustained when he was thrown from the stage during a London concert the year before. THE GRAND WAZOO still sounds like a fresh and equal marriage of Zappa's already developed and apparent musical sensibilities with large ensemble jazz writing. The couple vocal numbers utilize the singing as another melodic line, and are knitted into the whole fabric rather than laying on top. Unfortunately, after this pair of 1972 albums, Zappa never revisited this particular approach ...

Frank Zappa Apostrophe' CD (1974) Remastered

For Sale Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, November 17, 2009

$9.58

One of Frank Zappa's most commercially successful albums, APOSTROPHE is also among his goofiest. The album found its way to the semi-mainstream chiefly on the strength of "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow." As the title of that single indicates, the scatological humor and cheap jokes that are part of Zappa's stock in trade abound here (see also the self-explanatory "Stink-Foot"). Part of Zappa's genius, though, much like that of Gong's Daevid Allen, was to deflate his sophisticated instrumental excursions and conceptual work with lowbrow humor and downright silliness. Nowhere is that process more apparent than on APOSTROPHE. The typically large band (including violin and horns) that accompanies Zappa here follows him through daunting twists and turns as tempos get turned around and counterpoint riffs bounce off each other at breakneck speed. In the midst of all this instrumental facility, Zappa's satirical side blazes forth, as on "Uncle Remus," which addresses racial strife, and the bluesy "Cosmik Debris," where he casts aspersions on the idea of gurus. APOSTROPHE finds Zappa at a ...

Amerie All I Have CD (2002) Bonus Tracks; Japan

Baby Snakes MP3 Album

$36.09

Japanese edition features the bonus tracks "Just What I Needed to See" (album version), "Why Don't We Fall in Love" (main mix featuring Ludacris), and "Why Don't We Fall in Love" (Richcraft remix). Blessed with a sweet vocal style and a sophisticated stylistic presence, Amerie stakes her claim as a contender for her generation's go at the hip-hop soul crown. Teaming with Mary J. Blige producer/songwriter Rich Harrison, the 22-year-old D.C. native serves up ALL I HAVE, a dozen cuts whose subject matter is steeped in the vagaries of life and love. Prior to this impressive debut, Amerie took a path akin to fellow divette Ashanti and collaborated with a number of hip-hop brethren including Nas and Royce da 5' 9". This apprenticeship served the former military brat well as her silky delivery fuses well with Harrison's harder-edged beats ...
