Ice Cream for Crow
''Ice Cream for Crow'' is the twelfth studio album by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, released in September 1982. It is the last Don Van Vliet recorded before abruptly retiring from music to devote himself to a career as a painter. It spent two weeks in the UK album charts, reaching number 90,〔
〕 but failed to make the ''Billboard'' Top 200.
== Production ==
While ''Ice Cream for Crow'' was being produced, Herb Cohen had settled his lawsuit with Frank Zappa over the latter withholding the master tapes to Captain Beefheart's unreleased ''Bat Chain Puller'' album. Don Van Vliet proposed that half of the tracks from ''Bat Chain Puller'' be included on ''Ice Cream for Crow'', but Zappa refused Vliet's request, leading Vliet to compose mostly new material for the album (the one exception is the a cappella track "81 Poop Hatch", which Vliet included from his own copy of the ''Bat Chain Puller'' tape, although "The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole" was rerecorded.) The songs "Semi-Multicolored Caucasian", "The Past Sure Is Tense" and "The Witch Doctor Life" had been written for earlier albums but not used.〔
"Skeleton Makes Good" was written in one evening. According to Vliet's biographer Mike Barnes, "the most original and vital tracks (the album ) are the newer ones." Thus, ''Ice Cream for Crow,'' while rooted in past musical ideas, points toward a new musical direction for Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Indeed, Barnes writes that the album "feels like an hors-d'oeuvre for a main course that never came."〔Barnes, Mike. ''Captain Beefheart: The Biography''. London: Quartet Books, 2000.〕
