Every now and then you discover a track from way back and can't imagine how you'd missed it until now. A month ago this track came to my notice and 'blew my mind' just as it no doubt would have done in 1971 when it was first released.
'Maggot Brain' is not typical Funkadelic (which might be why I'd missed it). For this one you'll need your Hippy Hat on and maybe long hair as opposed to your dancing shoes!
In the words of John Peel "This one fades in slowly". The video image below will ask you to go direct, so Click here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3bleXWaCk

If you like this there's more on YouTube. Guitarist Eddie Hazel played the original but was replaced in Funkadelic by Mike Hampton. Check out the live versions featuring him.

I'm hoping to make 'The Friday Music Spot' a regular feature. It's finally Friday and the weekend starts here, so turn up the volume.
