Shuggie Otis's second and perhaps best solo LP (from 1971) includes the phenomenal Strawberry 23. A must for any psychedelic collector. Shuggie also famously turned down an offer to join the Rolling Stones as a guitarist on tour in 1974!
The album included the R&B Singles hit "Chicken Strut", soulful covers of Lee Dorsey, Ty Hunter, and even Jimmy Webb, and directed the group into a more expansive sound than before, rendering one of the most organic sounds in their discography.
2024 marks the 50th anniversary of Cymande’s Promised Heights -- an album that solidified Cymande’s place in music history and contains some of their most-beloved tracks. Limited Edition Pink LP.
