Description
A lot more people have heard Essra Mohawk than have heard of her.
She is none other than the reluctant recipient of Frank Zappa’s term of endearment Uncle Meat. She’s also the voice behind a bunch of Schoolhouse Rock favorites, background singer for Jerry Garcia and John Mellencamp among many others, writer of songs for Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper, and, most importantly, the artist behind some of the most critically adored (but commercially neglected) singer-songwriter albums of all time.
Essra made this debut record while still a teenager (and still Sandy Hurvitz) for Frank Zappa’s Bizarre label / Zappa started out as the producer but then surrendered the chair to Mother of Invention member Ian Underwood.
Mohawk’s brilliance pokes out through the production murk / she is already, at age 19, a unique talent.
The song titles alone let you know that you are in for a wondrous ride.
