The reissue of the 1975 Shuggie Otis album "Inspiration Information" in 2004 caused a storm, one of the great albums and careers that time forgot . A soul album tinged with jazz and off kilter funk, its DIY approach and lo-fi electronics predicted much of what would follow at the end of the 20th Century. The album was recorded at sessions during the period 1972-1974. Before, during and after this period Shuggie Otis continued his work as a session musician partly for his father 's (Johnny Otis) ongoing productions at his own Hawk Sound Studios, where much of Inspiration Information was recorded. The music on our compilation is a mixture of blues, R&B, funk, soul, all recorded in the same DIY lo-fi way at Hawk Sound studios, across 1973-1977
