totally agree that while the album isn’t anything mind-blowing new, it has a special quality that makes the influence argument invalid. shuggie has his influences, but he also has it (that special quality).

I don’t know why it didn’t post. Anyway I was saying I have posted on my website a tune in which Shuggie appeared when he was only 14 years old. Awesome guitar sound. Chek it at: http://colmenadehumo.blogspot.com/2009/04/preson-love-feat-shuggie-otis-cool-ade.html

^^^Indeed, Super Sessions is great, especially that wicked version of Season of the Witch.

This Shuggie album reminds me a lot of Robert Palmer’s Sneaking Sally Through the Alley, with its breezy, but groovy summer feel. Shuggie’s is a few degrees more laid back though. I dig; thanks.
