Experimental Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Avant-Garde
Don Van Vliet born Don Glen Vliet; January 15, 1941 – December 17, 2010), known by his stage name Captain Beefheart, was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist. Conducting a rotating ensemble known as the Magic Band, he recorded 13 studio albums between 1967 and 1982. His music blended elements of blues, free jazz, rock, and avant-garde composition with idiosyncratic rhythms, absurdist wordplay, and Vliet's gravelly singing voice with a wide vocal range.
Bluejeans & Moonbeams is the ninth LP by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, released in 1974.
