Inspiration Information - Shuggie Otis (1974)
More a triumph of atmosphere, mood and production than content - the album is very short and many of its 9 tracks are instrumentals - Inspriation Information is one of those "lay back with headphones and let the waves of sound hit you" kind of experiences. The reclusive genius Otis took 3 years to make this album - an eternity back then - and played every note himself. There are two top-notch songs in the title track and "Aht Uh Mi Hed," and a lot of fantastic playing and effects across the rest of it.
