Crazy Backwards Alphabet is an album conceived by cartoonist and The Simpsons creator Matt Groening and recorded by Henry Kaiser. The core group features Kaiser on guitar along with Captain Beefheart drummer John French (Drumbo), Dixie Dregs bassist Andy West, and Swedish avant-rock drummer Michael Maksymenko. The American rock critic Robert Christgau said of the album: "Concept is Beefheart as Dixie Dregs, kind of, with intermittent lyrics, not always in English." It was released in 1987 (see 1987 in music).
