Zappa was the greatest rock 'n roll bandleader / guitar virtuoso ever. Period.

This is my favorite recording by his band. It was waxed under a pseudonym at a studio in Cucamonga, which was at the time a wide spot along Rte. 66 in San Bernardino County, Calif.

I prefer this song from the same film (not sure if Frank is in this band but he did do the soundtrack). Director Timothy Carey is the singer/star.

About the closest thing we have to this today (or the Cramps or Screaming Lord Sutch or even Bo Diddley) is the King Khan & BBQ Show.

But then again, I saw them open for Roky Erickson and Billy Gibbons' Moving Sidewalks last weekend at the Psych Fest so I may be partial.
