Anyone interested in outsider music and other really REALLY unique artists?

I can't stand Fischer's vocals, they are so annoying. Never could get into him.

Have you read the book Songs In the Key Of Z by Irwin Chusid?  It covers a number of outsider musicians including Fischer, Captain Beefheart, the Shaggs, Jandek, Daniel Johnston, Wesley Willis and more.  There's also an album of the same title that goes with it.

I have a somewhat large interest in artists and bands like this. I am a huge fan of Captain Beefheart, Wesley Willis, Jandek, The Shaggs, Frank Zappa, Little Fyodor, Philemon Arthur and the Dung and, if I may say so myself, The Residents, Snakefinger and Renaldo & The Loaf.

Never heard of the book and BIG thanks for bringing it to my attention. Smile
 
Speaking of Captain Beefheart, How could I forget about The Residents?!

How about The Rudy Schwartz Project? This one might be quite hard to find.
 
And again this is for mature audience.

After hearing The Shaggs I'm now more determined to find that book you recommended.
