Pensato come colonna sonora di un omonimo film che non vide tuttavia la luce prima del 1987, Uncle Meat è considerato un passo importante discografico di Frank Zappa verso il jazz e la musica classica. L'album include anche elementi di blues, rock'n'roll, nonché parti vocali provenienti dal film stesso.
Non mancano ovviamente i riferimenti satirici al mondo delle groupie, col ritorno del personaggio di Suzy Creamcheese, già apparsa in Freak Out!. Da notare una lunga suite strumentale jazz/rock/fusion di ben 18 minuti, intitolata King Kong e divisa in sei parti.
La versione su compact disc, pubblicata nel 1995, include un pezzo aggiuntivo, Tengo Na Minchia Tanta, con testo in lingua italiana (l'unico dell'immensa discografia zappiana) cantato da Massimo Bassoli, che è anche facente parte del film associato all'album.
