Dweezil Zappa Review of "Automatic" @ iTunes By: Robert Silverstein fter ten years away from the recording scene, Dweezil returns with his first primarily instrumental album. On "Automatic", Dweezil really shows how diverse a medium rock and roll really is. Just check out two covers of the classic "Hawaii Five-O" theme and a multi-tracked version of "Les Toreadors" from the opera "Carmen". The lone vocal on the album is a song from Doctor Seuss featuring some very Zappa-esque inspired vocals from Ahmet Zappa. Sandwiched in between these jewels are further sonic explorations of Dweezil's own instro visions. Adding in players like Terry Bozzio (drums), Mike Keneally (rhythm guitar) and Joe Travers (drums) is another fine move by Dweezil. The trademark of the Zappa family sound has always been about transcending musical stereotypes and genres. No doubt Frank is somewhere digging Dweezil's impressive new foray into the world of instrumental guitar. © Robert Silverstein / 20th Century Guitar Magazine Fwakstension Automatic Hawaii Five-O You're A Mean One Mister Grinch Therapy
