“Inspiration Information” by Shuggie Otis - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1974 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s ● 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

Sly-Stone-inspired album of space-age-funk from the 20-year-old, almost 3 years in the making. Impressively, he plays everything himself, horns and some strings excepted. Didn't do as well as was expected and he never regained his status as a contracted solo artist.
