The April/May 2006 issue of Relix features our Frank Zappa cover story and much more! A maverick guitar god, stand-up comedy singer, avant-garde composer and one-size-fits-all provocatouer, Frank Zappa –dare we say–stands a close second in terms of jamband inspiration to the big guy in the black T-shirt, with his intricately composed jazz-rock, group improvisations, audience participations, frisky electronics, rhythmic conundrums, and all manner of spontaneous tomfoolery. That considered, we are at long last tipping our hat to American music’s great cosmic maximalist.

This issue also contains additional articles and interviews with Etta James, The Flaming Lips, Chuck Leavell, Elvin Bishop, Reid Genauer, Bob Brozman, Chris Wood and much more!
