Redirected from Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band signed to A&M Records and released a successful single, "Diddy Wah Diddy". Their first LP, however, was rejected by the label as being too negative and uncommercial. Moon and Blakely were replaced by Antennae Jimmy Semens[?] and John Dumbo French[?] respectively, as well as adding Ry Cooder (guitarist) and released their remixed album, Safe as Milk[?]. Meanwhile, Beefheart's childhood friend, Frank Zappa, formed Straight Records[?] and signed Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, which had added Zoot Horn Rollo[?] (guitarist), Rockette Morton[?] (bassist) and Mascara Snake[?] (bass clarinetist[?]), resulting in the landmark 1969 album Trout Mask Replica[?]. After Lick My Decals Off, Baby[?] (1970) and the more commercial 1972 albums, The Spotlight Kid[?] and Clear Spot[?], the Magic Band left Beefheart and formed Mallard. Beefheart formed a new Magic Band and released Unconditionally Guaranteed[?] and Bluejeans & Moonbeams[?]. Shiny Beast[?] (1978) brought group back to the innovative and eccentric style of the earlier albums. After Ice Cream for Crow[?] (1982), Beefheart retired from music and became a critically acclaimed painter.
