Frank Zappa wasn't just rock's foremost cultural critic and musical anarchist, he was also one of its fiercest six-string shredders. No track in his vast canon displays those skills more authoritatively than the nine-minute “Willie the Pimp”, a bluesy grind that uses a single Captain Beefheart-growled verse as a springboard to a scorching jam. But “Baby Snakes” shows that Zappa could also deliver manic rock thrills in under two minutes flat.
