Billie Holiday

[Brandon Ousley @brandonousley]

Album of the day. The late great cosmic guitar virtuoso Eddie Hazel would've been 75 years old this week. If there was ever a true standard-bearer for Black rock after Jimi Hendrix’s untimely death, Eddie Hazel checked all of the boxes. As a pivotal figure of the Parliament-Funkadelic collective, Hazel obviously owed a huge debt to Hendrix, but unlike many imitators who could mimic his style but not his substance, he was greatly invested in taking the electric guitar to new avenues untraveled. His 1977 George Clinton-produced solo debut, Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs more than confirms this.

Backed by a sizable chunk of the P-Funk mob,—Billy “Bass” Nelson, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Cordell Mosson, Jerome Brailey, Tiki Fulwood and the Brides of Funkenstein (Dawn Silva and Lynn Mabry)—Hazel showcases a thrilling smorgasbord of on-the-edge solos and damn near-perfect, “in the pocket” rhythm vamps (check out the head-spinning funk jam "What About It?"). Hypnotic covers of The Beatles’ “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” and Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” best represent Hazel’s mind-blowingly inventive flailing, while a mostly instrumental tackling of Bootsy Collins’ “Physical Love” proves he could make his guitar phrasings talk. A hugely overlooked gem of late-period psychedelic soul and funk-rock that deserves more than it gets, just like the master behind it.
