You Are What You Is by Frank Zappa (CD, May-1995, Rykodisc USA)

Frank covers every ground on this one as the title suggests: cowboys, Hollywood, Evangelists, war in the middle east etc... The music is so on point, that when I first heard this as a teenager, I literally thought of it as "other-worldly". The guitar work is incredible and the vocals of Ray White and Ike Willis are worth the price of admission alone. Even..., no especially if your just dicovering Zappa, this one's for you.

This album was my 3rd experience listening to Frank Zappa's music. The other 2 were his live albums(You can't do that on stage..). This album is a laugh-out riot. When I need some cheering up, I put this on. Frank was lost way too early (1940-1993); however, he has a lot of fun stuff to listen to. This album is no exception.
