Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Safe as Milk
1967

Safe as Milk. Is it?

There's something about Don Van Vliet's voice that really reminds me of God. He looks at life with the innocence of a child. His surrealistic lyrics betray an intimate encounter with life. The music is only conventional at first glance. There is an undercurrent of oddity. It hangs on the end of a breath. There is something left unsaid, something ominously subversive in its honesty.

The track listing on the back of the album is not in order. That must be it.
