He restructed rock music to his own ends and his imagination, stained by John Coltrane, free jazz and the primal blues of Howling Wolf was limitless. Willard's Wormholes » CAPTAIN BEEFHEART The Revenant Demos (1965-1967) The Revenant Demos (1965-1967) The Evolution Of A Weird Blues Band A collection of demos from Captain Beefheart’s early days as a budding blues man, circa ’65-’67.

It had long been a source of rancour among those who had recorded with Beefheart that he claimed full songwriting credits, despite the players often left to construct songs from impressionistic instructions (“Play it like a bat being dragged out of oil and it’s trying to survive, but it’s dying from asphyxiation”, for example). When members from several different incarnations of the Magic Band assembled in 2003 to play Beefheart’s music live again, and perhaps even earn a little money, it was a given that Van Vliet would not be involved.

Zoot Horn Rollo was a guitarist for Captain Beefheart in what many consider to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Moreover, he took part in Beefheart’s magnum opus, Trout Mask Replica. In his capacity as the Captain’s guitarist, he co-hosted bills with and performed for many of rock’s most well known legends, and in 1990 made it into ‘Spin’ magazine’s list of the top 35 guitar gods (beating out the likes of Brian May, Thurston Moore, and Eddie Van Halen).
Now, after many years of a quiet life filled with guitar lessons, golf games, and a regular job, he is at the forefront of a musical renaissance.

It's a little remarkable to me that so few people, even today, are aware of the music of Captain Beefheart. I should say here that I never referred him as Van Vliet in those days, and neither did he; I believe he always thought of himself, at least during those early years, as Don Vliet, and those are the names I used. I was not a Beefheart music fan, at least not after he turned the corner in 1967.
That is not to say I didn't understand the impact of what he was doing, however. The Spotlight Kid Revisted: Two Decades with Captain Beefheart. In 1965, Don Vliet followed his boyhood chum Frank Zappa into the world of avant-garde rock 'n' roll with his group Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band.
