商品の説明
From Amazon.co.uk
Son of band-leader, Johnny Otis, multi-instrumentalist, Shuggie Otis worked with Al Kooper when he was 16, refused the offer to join the Rolling Stones after Brian Jones' death and recorded this highly influential album in 1974. So why so few of us have heard of him is a mystery. Exiled to cult status, "Inspiration Information" (reissued in 2001 by David Byrne's Luaka Bop) was his finest hour on record-loose, spellbinding, a wonderful combination of vulnerability and consoling mellowness. Too weird to be embraced by the mainstream, it's actually an extraordinary jazz-soul listen that strives for a kind of gravity-defying weightlessness. Produced and reportedly multi-tracked all by him, (only the strings and horns were played by session musicians) this album of stark, breath-taking beauty recalls Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, The Meters and Love in feel and quality. The previously un-included "Strawberry Letter 23" (later covered by disco band, The Brothers Johnson) begins as a deceptively languid sing-along, backed by a celeste, then Otis begins weaving dense webs out of guitar riffs, wacked-out up tape flanges and lots of far-out effects. However ornate the effects may become, the song/track is always allowed to predominate. "Island Letter" and "Aht Uh Mi Hed" are both intoxicating and menacing, contrasting hard, angular arrangements with crooned vocals and lush, electronic textures. Tracks, like the sweetly valedictory "Not Available" and "Rainy Day" achieve a kind of unsettling and hypnotic sensibility in their dreaminess. Nearly 30 years on, Otis should feel vindicated for sticking to his guns. Remarkable and visionary, "Californian Soul: Inspiration Information" is definitely deserving of that misused term, "lost classic." --Maxine Kabuubi
Album Description
Inspiration Information, the brainchild of guitar prodigy Shuggie Otis, more than justifies the cult following garnered in the years since its (largely ignored) 1974 release. Son of R&B legend Johnny Otis, Shuggie was a late-'60s celebrity due to his Super Session duets with Al Kooper. Opting out of arena rock -- he reputedly refused an offer to join the Rolling Stones -- the 19-year-old Otis spent three years in the studio generating this one-man opus. His multitracked rhythms recall the laid-back funk of the Meters embroidered with psychedelic filigree, and his voice resembles Allan Toussaint's. But in every other regard, this is singular, sexy music, dislocated in time. Drum machines propel "Island Letter" and the beat-box-plus-organ stabs of "XL-30" predate England's Young Marble Giants by several years. Also featured are four bonus cuts from the artist's 1971 set Freedom Flight, including "Strawberry Letter 23," which was later a hit for the Brothers Johnson. Heard here in its original form (with a surprise prog-guitar coda), the song conveys the impression of "Good Vibrations" being played by a lone musician. Unbelievably wonderful. - Billboard
