The 14th album from this artist from USA.
Frank Zappa did the guitars and vocals here.
He got help from a dozen of guests who added percussion, marimba, drums, bass, violin, keyboards, synths, trumpet, trombone, saxophones, flute, clarinet and vocals.
Tina Turner, George Duke and Jean-Luc Ponty was among the guests here.
You never know what you get with a Frank Zappa album. Thankfully, he focused more on writing good music those days instead of just fooling around in the studio.
OverNite Sensation is a fine blend of fusion, funk, psych rock and Canterbury prog.
There is a great variety of instruments here. Some of the songs are still pretty simple... and effective. Some of them are indeed very good.
Frank Zappa, the songwriter, is turning up on this album and the result is forty minutes of very good music. The highlight being the closing song Montana. But the other six songs are very good too.
This is an album well worth checking out.
