12 flautists flauting: A user’s guide to the greatest moments in flute-rock history
LA TimesAndré 3000’s first LP in 17 years, set for release on Friday, will not be the rap album many OutKast fans have been waiting for. The Beatles, “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” A John Lennon classic off the “Help!” soundtrack, John Scott double-tracked a pair of flute parts that give the waltz-time track a regal finish. Beastie Boys, “Flute Loop” The famously sample-omnivorous trio took a slice of 1966’s “Flute Thing,” from the Blues Project’s “Projections,” for this cut off the era-defining “Ill Communication.” 9. India.Arie, “Ready for Love” “Ready For Love” is a regal, devotional folk ballad on record, but when India.Arie puts down her guitar and pulls out her flute for solos in concert, it’s an instant barnburner. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, “Trapdoor” These Aussie psych-rockers have become unlikely arena headliners, and this manic cut from 2015’s “Paper Mâché Dream Balloon” shows the range of their weirdo ambitions.
