1541 - Frank Zappa Black Napkins 1976

Maybe the best cut on Zappa´s album "Zoot Allures" is a blues instrumental (recorded live in Japan), "Black Napkins," in which Zappa on guitar leads a simple and melodic blues run through some extremely subtle and uncharacteristically lyrical changes. In Ljubliana, Yugoslavia on 11/11/75, Frank introduced an early version of “Black Napkins” to the audience by announcing, “This is an instrumental song. It’s a tender, slow, moving, ‘ballad’ sort of song that carries with it the implied message that the complete woman must also have an asshole.”
