THE WORLD OF CAPTAIN BEEFHEART featuring Nona Hendryx and Gary Lucas was recorded at Eastside Sound in NYC, and is a comprehensive overview of the man’s towering legacy, re-imagined and infused with new blood by Hendryx and Lucas, who starred in a symphonic Beefheart Tribute with Amsterdam’s famed 65-piece Metropole Orchestra at the Paradiso a few years ago.
Their new album strikes a fine balance between the more bluesy and grooveaccessible songs in the Captain Beefheart oeuvre —including “Sun Zoom Spark” and “Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles” from Beefheart’s 1973 “Clear Spot” album, “Too Much Time” and “When It Blows Its Stacks” from 1972’s “The Spotlight Kid”, “Sure ’Nuff ’n Yes I Do” and “I’m Glad” from “Safe as Milk”, and “Tropical Hot Dog Night” from 1977’s “Shiny Beast”—to the more extreme, darker and weirder side of Beefheart, including “When Big Joan Sets Up” and “Sugar ’n Spikes” from 1969’s “Trout Mask Replica”, and “The Smithsonian Institute Blues” from 1970’s “Lick My Decals Off, Baby”.
