So Shuggie Otis was an artist that I had never heard before, and I found this to be a completely forgettable album… As I always do when I get one of these headscratchers, I was perplexed why this is even on the 1,001 list… Found this little ditty about the “Inspirational Information” album – “…Released in 1974 on Epic Records, it reached number 181 on Billboard's Top 200 Pop Albums list that year…”. Wow – 174 of 200 at it’s peak, we definitely need to get that one on the 1,001 list for sure… : ) Anyways, just found it incredibly odd all-the-way around, as songs go on much longer than they need to, while others stop suddenly when they should have gone on a bit longer – and vocals, forget about it, as they are absolutely dreadful… Actually found the instrumentals to be a bit better, but that may have just been because Shuggie wasn’t singing… This sounded like it could have been the soundtrack music to the old 70’s sitcom “Sanford & Son”… “…I think this is the big one Elizabeth…” though nothing big about this album, and giving a generous 1 for my rating…
