Oysterhead · 2001
Claypool, Trey Anastasio, Stewart Copeland. One studio album, born as a Jazz Fest one-off, then recorded before anyone could overthink it. Tighter and odder than a Phish jam record; less cartoon than Primus.
This is the cleanest hop into the "Claypool plus another songwriter" lane that later becomes the Delirium.
