Song Review: Frank Zappa - “Khaki Sack”

Previously unreleased and “composed and played by the Mothers before 1970,” Frank Zappa’s latest sprung-from-the-vault release reveals a rarely heard side of the multi-faceted composer and musician.

Following “Work With Me Annie/Annie Had a Baby” From the forthcoming (June 30) Funky Nothingness, “Khaki Sack” is a bluesy shuffle running eight instrumental minutes and sounds more like a studio jam than an actual composition. Heavy on Ian Underwood’s organ and with Zappa playing guitar in a mostly unfamiliar style and tone, it has a Booker T & the M.G.’s-kind of feel.

In the end, “Khaki Sack” is most interesting because it’s been gathering dust for nearly 55 years. But bushing it off reveals costume jewelry rather than an actual gem.

Grade card: Frank Zappa - “Khaki Sack” - C+

Song Review: Frank Zappa - “Work With Me Annie/Annie Had a Baby”

Next up from the Frank Zappa vaults, blues with violin.

Don “Sugarcane” Harris is the frontman and main instrumentalist on Zappa’s previously unreleased Hank Ballard & the Midnighters’ mashup, “Work With Me Annie/Annie Had a Baby,” which previews the June 30 release of Funky Nothingness.

Recorded in 1970 and promptly shelved, what would have been the 11-track Funky Nothingness LP will in 2023 be a 25-track, 3.5-hour package of originals, covers and jams.

Ever the mastermind, Zappa is a relatively minor presence on this track, playing a short guitar solo bridging “Work with Me” and “Baby.”
