Frank Zappa - Uncle Remus

Knock the little jockeys off the rich people's lawns
Well now I've got Zappa on the brain. So here's some more for yez. This one comes from the 'commercial' period, when Frank enlisted top flight musicians to play raunchy rock with fancy zigzags. This one's actually a little somber, obliquely riffing on the ebb of the civil rights tide in the mid-'70s, and with barely a hint of smirk or snark. Props to that, but really this track is all about the gosel funk of Sir George Duke's piano.
