Shuggie Otis’s 1974 Inspiration Information, is a visionary blend of psychedelic soul, minimalist funk, and avant-garde pop that arrived decades ahead of its time. Recorded over three years after Epic Records gave him complete creative control, the then-21-year-old multi-instrumentalist wrote, arranged, and played nearly every single instrument himself. While the album originally bombed commercially, retrospective evaluations have cemented it as a renegade "cult classic". It bridges the gap between the psychedelic funk of Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix, while laying the sonic blueprints for future icons like Prince, D'Angelo, and Frank Ocean.
