Despite only moderate success upon its initial release, Shuggie Otis' third album Inspiration Information
turned into underground smash decades later and has since maintained a level of cult status normally
reserved for mysterious, unearthed legends like Sixto Rodriguez.

Inspiration Information is also noteworthy among Shuggie's other releases, as it was entirely self-produced.
Shuggie's signature blend of baroque funk is on full display, but with a heavy dosage of psychedelic soul
blended in, resulting in an album that's equally swarthy, lush, funky, and emotional.
