Best Batch Yet: A Tribute to Captain Beefheart

A striking array of smart rockers, jazzers and unclassifiables unite to pay homage to the late Don Van Vliet (while simultaneously raising money for multiple-sclerosis research). On hand are longtime Captain crony Gary Lucas, Labelle member Nona Hendryx, art-pop power couple Nathan Larson (Shudder to Think) and Nina Persson (the Cardigans), indie luminary Doug Gillard (Guided by Voices), punk-jazz provocateur Weasel Walter and many more.
