The Spotlight Kid
Spotlight Kid contains some very heavy, slow and spacious blues. Although seen as a disappointment by many on its release, due to its very restrained nature, it really shines through today as being another Beefheart classic, containing some of his most beautiful songs, such as Glider and Grow Fins, and a few live favourites, such as Alice In Blunderland and Click Clack. The killer opening tune, I'm Gonna Booglarize Ya Baby, never fails in its mission, no matter how many times you've been booglarized before.
Tracks:
1. I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby
2. White Jam
3. Blabber 'N Smoke
4. When It Blows Its Stacks
5. Alice in Blunderland (instrumental)
6. The Spotlight Kid
7. Click Clack
8. Grow Fins
9. There Ain't No Santa Claus on the Evenin' Stage
10. Glider
Clear Spot
While his guitar work on his other Beefheart albums may well be more complicated, this album is Zoot Horn Rollo's finest hour. Just listen to him zip up and down his guitar! It also contains his now infamous long lunar note in the song "Big Eyed Beans From Venus" - a tune guaranteed to bring a smile to the most sullen of faces.
All these songs are very tight, catchy and punchy, and there isn't anything especially odd about them, though having said that, there isn't anything particularly normal about them either. If you want a gentle but utterly captivating introduction to the Magic Band then this is it.
Tracks:
1. Low Yo Yo Stuff
2. Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man
3. Too Much Time
4. Circumstances
5. My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains
6. Sun Zoom Spark
7. Clear Spot
8. Crazy Little Thing
9. Long Neck Bottles
10. Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles
11. Big Eyed Beans from Venus
