Almost 30 years after he released his masterpiece Trout Mask Replica,
blues, jazz and rock experimentalist Captain Beefheart is getting
a push by two record labels. Rhino Records has announced the Aug. 3
release of a two-CD compilation of Beefheart tracks called The Dust
Blows Forward (An Anthology), which will include several songs never
before released on CD. The set will follow Captain Beefheart and His
Magic Band Grow Fins, Revenant Records' five-disc collection of
unreleased Beefheart material, due May 8.
