The last album that guitarist Frank Zappa worked on prior to his death in December 1993 will finally be released this June. Titled Dance Me This, the LP is considered the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's 100th and final official release, ending a legacy that began with the Mothers of Invention's landmark 1966 album Freak Out! According to a pre-order page on the Zappa official site, Dance Me This is due out June 1st.
Is it real this time?
Yup, it’s legit! I have a buddy who is a giant Zappa fan and this is actually coming out! It’s also on Frank Zappa’s official site, with links to pre order. I’m guessing this will be the final release of new Zappa material, unless Dweezil or someone else comes across some lost tapes. Most artists record so many demos that never see the light of day.
Joe Travers is the Vaultmeister… I’m not sure if this will be the last release…. there’s too much shit in there that has to be released at some point….
