Shuggie Otis

Now this is one artist where I feel really embarrassed I haven’t known him earlier.

The soft, laid-back R&B from the 60s and 70s just fires up my good mood, no matter what I do in the background (or foreground). Superb guitar skills make this man a remarkable, true blues, funk & soul protagonist. One of those musicians that have an enormous potential which is never recognized or discovered by the mainstream. Nevertheless, he’s had and declined his offers, for a good reason, too.

Listen to his album Here Comes Shuggie Otis.

Enjoy.

Now this easy listening rock music from the british isles does not – I repeat: does not – lack a good share of psychedelic feeling to it. Of course, being british, there’s no lack of humor in the lyrics, either.

Especially Jim Noir’s EP Zooper Dooper makes me smile, and at the same time, I can’t exactly refrain from tapping my feet to the music.

Hammond space organ sounds, groovy drums, James Bond guitars, soft, detached vocals – all packaged nicely in a 70’s rainbow box.

 

Actually, the album reminds me a lot of the even crazier, much more eccentric Magnus Moriarty™.
