User Reviews: Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot

  • Overall:

    An all time classic.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 7, 2000

    This is one of the great albums in my opinion of the 1970's. Van Vliet is so much better to listen to than anything else of this time with the exception of Zappa. This is my favourite Beefheart album of the lot, Especialy with the added bonus of cle...arspot. The spotlight kid is the best part of the album. You can not categorise this album because of the different styles of music that can be herd within its makeup. Read more Less

  • Overall:

    The good Captains' best work?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 20, 1999

    Often mentioned as transition recordings from the Troutmask/Decals era towards a more acessable/commercial sound...these two albums could be seen as Dons' best. A tight and uniquely "hard rock" sound twisted with the off-beats of the Captains Magic ...Band. Soaring guitars, crucial drums. No other hard rock LPs ever sounded this contemporary, and where Spotlight is dark and brooding, ClearSpot is a blues shouter on Venus. Let them pass inbetween us. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot

  • All Music Guide

    This two-fer compiles two Beefheart albums originally released in 1972. The Spotlight Kid was a stripped-down, slide-guitar-filled move toward Beefheart's beloved Delta blues, dark in outlook and more traditional in approach, although it was still distinctly Beefheart's take on the blues. Clear Spot was more typical of Beefheart's earlier work with the Magic Band, although it too was musically simpler, as well as thematically brighter.

Biography

Captain Beefheart

Born Don Vliet, Captain Beefheart was one of modern music's true innovators. The owner of a remarkable four-and-one-half octave vocal range, he employed idiosyncratic rhythms, absurdist lyrics and an unholy alliance of free jazz, Delta blues, latter-day classical music and rock roll to create a singular body of work virtually unrivalled in its daring and fluid creativi... Read more
