Can't say i recall the album or the song ....but it seems you have certainly done it justice here. Soaring riffage from you guys (has somebody got a sustainiac pup?). Loved the big floating B3...did you do the backer here as well? Fine guitar jammin' boys..cool collab!

Wow!! What a great tribute!! I remember the Funkadelic albums. Amazing stuff. This rocks as solid as the best of them.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Eddie Hazel and George Clinton’s Funkadelic! AMAZING. Just AMAZING. First, this track, indeed the entire Maggot Brain album is one of my favorites of all time. I mean, the album was so raw and funky. Second, Eddie was a fantastic guitarist who wrote some of the most incredible funk songs ever IMO. Cutting edge stuff in the 70’s. Too bad his life was cut short. Third, Maggot Brain was an underground classic for many years. Not many people were aware of this song. So for you and swampman to give tribute in such a brilliant soul stirring performance is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hats-off to both of you. This one brought a huge smile to my face. AWESOME! Thank you.
