Because of his album "Trout Mask Replica," if a person didn't know better you might just think that Don Val Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart was just a crazy guy making crazy music all the time, but the Captain also had a very soulful side to him, and there's a song on this 1972 LP titled "Clear Spot" that sounds like it might have off of an Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett album, but no, it was written by The Captain himself, and seriously, this should have been a hit record.
This really is magic and with the added sugary sweet background vocals by The Blackberries, it's just too good!
