You Hit the Nail on the Head by Funkadelic (1972)






I could spend days featuring songs off of the first four or five albums by Funkadelic. Because not only is this music some of the best electric music ever created, but it is also massively under-appreciated. If you ever have the opportunity to pick up Funkadelic, Free Your Ass....And Your Mind Will Follow, Maggot Brain, America Eats its Young, and/or Cosmic Slop(to a slightly lesser degree), just do it. You will be taken on a funky, psychedelic ride worthy of your time.

Right now, Funkadelic's keyboardist, rock n' roll hall of famer, Bernie Worrell, is near the end of his days, fighting stage 4 lung cancer. So, enjoy this masterful piece of work off of Funkadelic's fourth album, written by Bernie, George Clinton, and Clarence Haskins. It captures a range of the band's styles.
