Shuggie Otis Inspiration Information On 180g Vinyl LP

Guitar prodigy Shuggie Otis cut his teeth in the '60s, in his legendary father's R&B-soul revue, the Johnny Otis Show. Recording his first album in his teens, he played with everybody from T-Bone Walker to Frank Zappa to Bob Dylan; in the mid-'70s, he was even invited to replace Mick Taylor in the Rolling Stones. Otis' smooth, trippy soul-funk opus, Inspiration Information, originally released in 1974, was his third album for Epic records; in the Stevie Wonder soul-auteur vein, he wrote, sang and played almost every instrument on the album. Songs like "Happy House" embraced the incense-and-peppermint psychedelia of the times without falling out of the pocket and the electronic grooves of "XL-30" and the Isaac Hayes-like power of "Not Available" reveal an expansive creativity that appeared unlimited.
