The Little House I Used to Live in his prototypical jazz-rock, which was not boring because of the "soft power " by Don Preston, Don Harris and Frank Zappa. The Doo - Wop - piece Valarie was Zappa's farewell to the rock and roll era. The Anglist Kelly Fisher Lowe called the album Weasels Ripped My Flesh along with a " wildcard albums", as the collections of Mothers materials a musical step back away from the experimental music that Zappa had created until then constituted.
