Really good

"The theme, sung by Captain Beefheart in full reincarnated-Howlin' Wolf splendor, is a joy (too bad they didn't include the uncensored version as well)--you can't help but turn it up really loud. Ry Cooder's slide work is impressive, especially his acappella solo on "Zeke, Jerry, and Smokie." Other instrumental restatements of the title theme are average-good. The nonoriginal songs (especially Satin Sheets) fit in well."
Hidden Gem !

"What a great soundtrack and movie! From the interesting era of Ry Cooder/Captain Beefheart/Jack Nitzsche this album really brings the most out of the movie's main theme, and Ry Cooder's slide playing is just excellent once again!
