“Inspiration Information” by Shuggie Otis is the audible equivalent of a perfect day. This song sounds the way a good mood feels. Granted that’s an individually specific feeling, but the experience of being in a good mood is universally understood. I also think you could say that this song sounds the way fresh orange juice tastes – bright, sweet, healthy. You get the idea…

“Information Inspiration” comes from the 1974 album of the same name. Shuggie was 19 when he made this album all by himself! Crazy! High Five to Luaka Bop for reissuing the original recording and throwing in a couple bonus tracks to boot. This is record will make you happy to have in your collection.
