Clarence Clemons (tenor saxophone)
" is the perfect example of how Zappa constantly tried to push musical boundaries--the music is heavy metal accompanied by a female opera singer (Lisa Popiel) with xylophone added in for good measure
Originally released on various bedroom labels before being collected as Rifts in 2012
Tracks from his time spent on both Interscope Records and Death Row Records are included
The arrangements are equally imaginative
