Captain Beefheart

Buddah Years Captain Beefheart

The in 1999 remastered release *’Buddah Years’* is a 2006 compilation from 1967’s *’Safe As Milk’* (tracks 1 to 7) and from the 1971 album *’Mirror Man’* (tracks 9 to 12). *’Safe As Milk’* is the Captain’s heavily (Delta) blues influenced 1967 debut album featuring a 20 years young **Ry Cooder** playing the guitar. *’Mirror Man’* was also recorded in 1967 but released in 1971 through Buddah Records. With bringing these 1967 recordings remastered in one compilation, *’The Buddah Years’* is the perfect introduction to the world of **Don van Vliet**, one of the greatest influences in the late sixties music scene.
