. rediscovering
funkadelic’s
while digging through your cd collection:
“I’ll just say it up front: the title song of this
album contains the best guitar solo in the history of rock music.
You won’t believe me, probably, because you have your own favorite
solos clutched tightly to your chest, and anyway, isn’t Funkadelic,
well, y’know, a funk band? I salute your right to worship your own
guitar gods; that’s why we listen to loud music. But don’t let the
name of the band, or their color, or the age of this album fool
you: Eddie Hazel recorded – in one take – the solo against which
all other solos would be measured if he hadn’t been African
American.”
