Description
Beefhearts debut album, originally released in 1967, was the most accessible and pop inflected of all the releases from his catalogue. Still Safe As Milk is a very strong and heavily blues-influenced work but it also hints on many of the features that would later become the trademarks of Captain Beefheart. nice fact is that not only did a 20-year old Ry Cooder play bass & guitar on Abba Zaba and Grown So Ugly, he also arranged the latter as well as Sure Nuff N Yes I Do. Also, Cooders role in the recording process was to translate the Captains wilder nations to the rest of the band and generally acts as musical director.
With him as a supervisor the sessions proceeded more or less smoothly and Safe As Milk was recorded within a month.
