Album Notes & Community Reviews

The only solo studio project from the lead guitarist of Parliament-Funkadelic features extensive collaborative efforts from his bandmates, including Bootsy Collins and George Clinton. The recording highlights Hazel's emotive lead guitar style, blending heavy psychedelic distortion with deep soulful grooves. It remains a definitive document of the acid-rock influenced branch of the 1970s funk movement.
