This vinyl LP was issued when guitarist Shuggie Otis was only 14 years old. It features nine originals co-written with Shuggie's famous father and R&B legend Johnny Otis and one written by Johnny and Dan Aldrich. The album is evenly divided between vocal tunes [side1] and instrumentals [side2]. Shuggie's guitar playing is jaw-dropping, especially considering he was only 14 when he recorded it! Shuggie plays guitar, harpischord, organ, piano, celesta and handles the vocals.

I lived with this album for years. I couldn't believe that someone my age could play as well as he did. We were into Bloomfield, the Kings, Green, Clapton, Chicago blues ... and here was a KID doing all that, And then to hear his other albums. Sheesh.

I remeber finding this album in the early 70"s and it blew me awy. I especially liked where he say when he was younger he would paint a mustach on to look older. He was 16 then!!!!. What's he doing now or lately anyone know?
