''Safe As Milk'' is the 1967 debut album by Music/CaptainBeefheart, generally regarded as one of his best albums, along with ''Music/TroutMaskReplica'', ''Music/LickMyDecalsOffBaby'', ''Clear Spot'' and ''Music/DocAtTheRadarStation''
It's also full of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. On this album Beefheart is closer to the {{Blues}} sounds he tried to emulate his entire career than on any of his later albums. Some tracks, such as "Call On Me" and "I'm Glad" are quite traditional, but amazing tracks like "Sure 'Nuff 'n' Yes I Do", "Dropout Boogie", "Electricity" and "Autumn's Child" already show the experimental directions Beefheart would become famous for.
This is the only album recorded while Ry Cooder was in the Magic Band. On the cover, Cooder is the guy with sunglasses in the back.
