Ed Palermo has done a lot of Zappa covers- a handful of all-Zappa tribute CDs and a few more with Zappa tunes mixed in with others. Obviously, there is a lot of material to cover over time on this here blog.
Any Ed Palermo cover of Zappa falls somewhere between very good and excellent, depending on the arrangement, energy, and unique attributes that Palermo's highly talented band brings to each cover. This cover is pretty basic as far as Ed Palermo Zappa covers go, but the unique quality by far are the female vocals. Female singing is pretty uncommon in the original Zappa repertoire, so it is always interesting to hear a change in vocal styles.
