Captain Beefheart’s “Now Playing” vinyl LP includes 10 seminal tracks from across the artists’ catalog.

Captain Beefheart, born Don Van Vliet on January 15, 1941, was an American singer, songwriter, and musician known for his avant-garde music and unique voice. He formed the Magic Band in the early 1960s and developed a distinctive blend of blues, rock, psychedelia, and experimental music.

His most acclaimed work, “Trout Mask Replica” (1969), produced by Frank Zappa, is celebrated for its innovative structure and surreal lyrics. Despite its initial commercial failure, it has since been recognized as a landmark album in experimental rock.

Captain Beefheart’s music was characterized by complex rhythms, unconventional song structures, and Van Vliet’s growling, multi-octave vocal range. After a prolific career marked by both critical acclaim and commercial struggles, Van Vliet retired from music in the early 1980s to focus on painting.

He lived reclusively in Northern California until his death from multiple sclerosis on December 17, 2010. Captain Beefheart’s influence extends across genres, impacting artists in punk, new wave, and alternative rock.
