Wild Man Fischer - An Evening With Wild Man Fischer flac album

An Evening with Wild Man Fischer is a 1968 double LP album by Wild Man Fischer. It was produced by Frank Zappa and released on his Bizarre record label. The album is split into four different areas on each record side for the type of song they contain.

To say the late Larry Wayne Wild Man Fischer is the great-grandaddy of outsider music is quite the stretch. For a matter of fact, Fischer was the living, breathing definition of an outsider. Diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic and bipolar, Fischer was institutionalized at 16 for attacking his mother with a knife.

Especially powerful is "The Wild Man Fischer Story," whereby the singer carefully reenacts his adolescence, describing how his mother actually had him committed to a mental institution twice for singing in his room. It is a mean story, a succession of misunderstandings that set the stage for a lifetime of being misdiagnosed, misrepresented, and misunderstood.

C'mon, let's do the Taster when my love was so grayster When the things of the past were just as good as the reh-eh-est Well I knew a girl, ah just a one certain girl Who taught me the Taster and it's good as the Twist-er. 31. The Wild Man Fischer Story. 32. Balling Isn’t Everything. 33. Ugly Beautiful Girl.

The Wild Man Fischer Story 33. Balling Isn't Everything 34. Ugly Beautiful Girl 3. But the real gold in this album is an extended series of unaccompanied short songs. These are masterpieces of private whimsy. I'm Working for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics" ends with a wonderful emotional outburst, as Fischer runs around the room screaming "stay away from me!" His surrealistic magnum opus, "The Leaves Are Falling," sounds almost like "Papa Oo Mow Mow," but employs a strange noise that Fischer seems to have made by clucking his tongue against his upper palette.
