Because
Hot Rats largely consists of instrumental jazz-influenced compositions
with extensive soloing, the music sounds very different from earlier
Zappa albums, which featured satirical vocal performances with extensive
use of musique concrete and editing. Besides Zappa,
multi-instrumentalist Ian Underwood and guitarist Lowell George are the
only members of the Mothers to appear on the album, with Underwood being
Zappa's primary musical collaborator. Other featured musicians were
bassists Max Bennett and Shuggie Otis (who was only 15 years old at the
time of the session); drummers John Guerin, Paul Humphrey and Ron
Selico; and electric violinists Don "Sugarcane" Harris and Jean-Luc
Ponty.
This was the first Frank Zappa album recorded on 16-track
equipment and one of the first albums to use this technology. Machines
with 16 individual tracks allow for much more flexibility in
multi-tracking and overdubbing than the professional 4 and 8-track
reel-to-reel tape recorders that were standard in 1969.
In the Q
& Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog
Rock, the album was number 13 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums". It
was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
In 2000 it was voted number 123 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000
Albums.
