Freak Out! is the debut album by American band The Mothers of Invention, released June 27, 1966 on Verve Records. Often cited as one of rock music's first concept albums, the album is a satirical expression of frontman Frank Zappa's perception of American pop culture.
The band's original repertoire consisted of rhythm and blues
covers; though after Zappa joined the band he encouraged them to play
his own original material, and the name was changed to The Mothers.
Much of the album is surprisingly accessible, yet there is still that
touch of strangeness that makes it distinctly Zappa. He combines
doo-wop, psychedelia, and straight-up rock and roll into an amazing
musical statement.
The excellent “You Didn’t Try to Call Me” contains some additional horns, woodwinds, vibes, and extra layers of guitar by Elliot Ingber.
