The 17th studio album from this artist from USA.
Frank Zappa did the bass, guitars, synths and vocals himself.
Some guests added drums, bass, harp, woodwinds, synths, harmonica and backing vocals.
I had just finished reading one of the many Frank Zappa biographies, a long book indeed, last week and some days after finishing the review of the previous Frank Zappa album One Size Fits All.
It turns out that most albums from the tenth album and onwards contains a mix of reworked songs from the Mother Of Invention era or previous albums, some new songs and some live tracks.
That explains the so many Frank Zappa albums.
Zoot Allures is indeed a forty minutes long album with new material, reworked old material and a couple of live tracks.
The music is laid back doo-wop... a genre he loved. This is vocal jazz. Lots of vocal harmonies. There are also some more rap and some more normal vocals psych rock songs here. The most known song here is the disturbing Torture Never Stop where the lyrics..... they are infamous, to put it like that. It is a cheap, bad song.
The rest of the album is decent enough. This album is not a highlight in his discography and should be handled with care.
