Inspiration Information / Wings of Love
“This 2xCD reissue of brilliant, reclusive L.A. songwriter Shuggie Otis' 1974 masterwork Inspiration Information includes four extra tracks from that session along with Wings of Love, comprising 14 tracks that Otis recorded between 1975 and 2000. Combined, the collections feel like a parallel universe greatest-hits compilation, from a world where a label embraced Otis’s genius and eccentricity, instead of driving him away.”
Here Comes Shuggie Otis
“Shuggie Otis, we hardly knew ye. No, the former child prodigy hasn't spun off this mortal coil just yet, but Shuggie's erstwhile recording career has certainly seen better days-- and unfortunately, those days were 30 years ago. Back in 1974, Shuggie managed to raise critical eyebrows with his ambitious *Inspiration Information* LP, an elegant, absorbing collage of delta blues, soul, R&B;, and funk”
Inter-Fusion
“The L.A. psych-soul artist’s first album in more than 40 years is a plodding, overdriven blues-jazz odyssey that feels like a chore.”
