Wild Man Fischer

Originally appeared in the All-Music Guide

A mentally disturbed street singer discovered by Frank Zappa. He recorded a double album for Zappa's Bizarre label, some of it with Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, the rest of it solo, giving full vent to nonmetrical original material. He recorded again for the Rhino label in 1977. An acquired taste to be sure, Fischer may surface again. - Cub Koda
