Episode 6
Frank Zappa - Freak Out!: Classic Albums.
48 minsThe debut album from Mothers of Invention comes under the microscope. It won the Grammy Hall of Fame Award and gained a cult following in the US.
The new interviewees for this episode are: Elliot Ingber, Terry Gilliam, Matt Groening, David Fricke, Ahmet Zappa, Pamela Des Barres, Joe Travers, Cheech Marin, Ruth Underwood, Carl Franzoni, Mike Keneally and Del Casher.
Yes, they play back isolated tracks from the original recordings. There's footage/photos of Frank's first wife Kay that I hadn't seen before. We see Keneally in the studio playing riffs and licks from the album.
All in all, it's an excellent watch—no question.
