A must-have for Persuasions fans, and a CD that could make you a convert! Frank Zappa gave them their first record deal back in 1969, and here they repay the musical debt with a tribute to his music. The (now) six singers say they worked harder on this album than any other, and it shows! The arrangements are an order of magnitude more sophisticated - from the "instrumental" version of "Lumpy Gravy" that opens the CD, to the rhythmic background of "You Are What You Is," to the "nose trombone" of "Cheap Thrills" (alternating seamlessly with Zappa's trombonist). More care was paid to production here than on any Persuasions album in recent memory, with layers of subtlety that slowly peel off with repeat listenings. Highly recommended! (43:03 2000)
