I could probably post another five in a row — actually, come to think of it, I definitely could — but though I’ve got a bunch in the can at this point, I’d rather slow the rate and not give it all away at once and then a month from now wonder what the hell happened. Eddie Hazel (April 10, 1950 – December 23, 1992) was a pioneering and influential guitarist in early funk music in the United States, most famous for his lead guitar work with George Clinton and Funkadelic. Hope you enjoy. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. See you back here Monday for that Top 20 and more. Eddie Hazel is one of my favorites, but you'd have to put him against Nile Rodgers and Catfish Collins among others, and Catfish single-handedly developed a style that still is being copied today. The proposed law would make it legal for adults to possess, purchase, and grow weed and would regulate and tax the drug statewide.

Either way...Eddie Hazel is a madman. Hazel died in 1992 at age 42, of complications from liver failure. It would be much harder to understand the "-delic" in Funkadelic if guitarist Eddie Hazel weren't such a key facet of the band's sound. It’s worth a shot, either way.

I thought maybe of doing a huge review mega-purge, just taking all the 2013 releases I’m backed up on and giving them like 100-200 words apiece and posting it in a series so I can start 2014 fresh. The results come out Jan. 1. Go get a feel for some of that brilliance and then come back and check out Hazel‘s solo album.

It might also be fun to take a nap. Maybe you’ll dig it, maybe not. His work reached its mind-boggling apotheosis on Maggot Brain's epic title track, where Clinton reportedly instructed Hazel to play as if he'd just learned that his mother had died. It's back in print again thanks to the relatively new Real Gone Music imprint.

This past Monday, I wrote out a list with 40-someodd albums and I’ve spent the week whittling it down and living with it, feeling it out and all that and I think I’ve got picks I can live with in an order I can live with, so it’s time to get it done.

There are a few solid funk workouts by Clinton and crew, but the best moments are Hazel's covers of "California Dreamin'" by the Mamas & the Papas, which you can hear below, and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" by the Beatles.

I guess so far The Obelisk Questionnaire has been pretty successful.

The album failed to make much commercial impact and was soon out of print.

Across the first three Funkadelic albums, Hazel grew more and more adventurous, dropping extended solos that were alternately spaced-out, searing, and intensely exploratory. Some students are pushing Chicago and Illinois to follow the lead of other places that lowered the voting age recently. The Chicago-area native dished tabloid-style gossip here for almost a decade.

The Obelisk highly supports you getting your groove on. Lakeview cooking instructor Viktorija Todorovska follows up her Puglia cookbook with one on the food of Italy's second largest island.
