Review by Dr. Arayan Richard Jenkins

Pygmy Pony is the 26th album by the legendary musician and composer, Frank Zappa. Released in 1971, this album features Zappa's signature blend of rock, jazz, and experimental music, with a nod to African rhythms and melodies.

The album opens with the title track, "Pygmy Pony," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its complex rhythms and intricate instrumentation. "Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy" is a standout track, featuring a catchy melody and Zappa's witty lyrics. "Manx Needs Women" is another highlight, showcasing Zappa's virtuosic guitar playing and his ability to blend different genres seamlessly.

The album also features several instrumental tracks, including "The Adventures of Greggery Peccary" and "Twenty Small Cigars," which allow Zappa's band to shine and showcase their musical prowess.
