Hardcore Jollies

Released

1976’s Hardcore Jollies is a transitional Funkadelic album. It’s dedicated “to all the guitar players in the world” and features plenty of scorching rock lead guitar over lean, taut funk tracks. Although Funkadelic’s original guitar hero Eddie Hazel is absent, Garry Shider, Glenn Goins and Michael Hampton more than adequately fill his shoes. It’s guitar-heavy, but aside from the guitars the rest of the music is no-horns, intricate R’n’B. Hardcore Jollies was the final psychedelic rock outing from Funkadelic who would return two years later with the world-beating funked-up disco of One Nation Under A Groove.
