Game Dames & Guitar Thangs
When Eddie Hazel joined George Clinton's Parliament/Funkadelic mothership in the late '60s at the tender age of 17, he was a solid R&B; guitar player.but in a very short time under the tutelage of Dr. Funkenstein, he was, well, a monster (check the title track to the 'Maggot Brain' album to see what we mean)! However, by the time the P-Funk mob hit its commercial stride in the mid-'70s, Eddie was busy battling substance abuse problems, and wasn't around for the ride on the charts. But Clinton and crew repaid their debt to Hazel on this 1977 solo release; not only does Clinton co-produce, but such P-Funk stalwarts as Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and the Brides of Funkenstein are on board to support Eddie's searing guitar work on 'California Dreamin'; 'Frantic Moment'; 'So Goes the Story'; 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'; 'Physical Love'; 'What About It?', and 'California Dreamin' (Reprise)'. In fact, it's practically a P-Funk release with the mothership's very own homegrown guitar hero in the spotlight; no wonder it's a cult classic, and a Collectors' Choice Music exclusive!
