Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the breathtakingly gorgeous original version of 'Strawberry Letter 23', teenage multi-instrumentalist prodigy Shuggie Otis crafted an incredibly visionary soul masterpiece. 'Freedom Flight' is a wonderfully warm, deeply mellow exploration of progressive funk, weaving intensely melodic, highly psychedelic soul grooves into beautifully optimistic, hypnotic jazz fusion.
