Dweezil Zappa is one of the greatest guitarists alive today. The level of detail he and his band puts into their performances is proof alone that live music is far from dead.

\n

Dweezil\u2019s upcoming tour celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of his father Frank Zappa\u2019s album \u201cHot Rats\u201d. Anyone who listens to this podcast regularly knows that I bring up Frank Zappa pretty much every episode, and while it\u2019s tough to pick a favorite record, Hot Rats is definitely up there. It showcases some of Frank\u2019s most intriguing orchestration and album production. Peaches En Regalia, Willie the Pimp, Son of Mr. Green Genes, Little Umbrellas, The Gumbo Variations, It Must Be a Camel, and more during \u201cHot Rats Live plus Other Hot Stuff\u201d!

\n

I\u2019ve had the chance to see Dweezil in concert twice and he really does the impossible.\nSurrounded by the most talented musicians available, he continues to honor his father's music and displays it in a fresh context for new audiences who were born too late!

\n

As if all that wasn\u2019t impressive enough, Dweezil is also scheduled to perform with Experience Hendrix Tour this fall.
