She cited him as one of her greatest influences since.

Parish described Beefheart's music as a " combination of raw blues and abstract jazz.

There was humour in there, but you could tell that it wasn't as a joke.

I felt that there was a depth to what he did that very few other rock artists have managed achieve.
