Description
Hardcore Jollies was Funkadelics ninth studio album and their debut on Warner Bros Records. Released in October 1976 and dedicated to the guitar players of the world, it showed Funkadelic was the heaviest black rock band since Jimi Hendrixs Band Of Gypsies (even featuring Buddy Miles on one track). With lead guitarists Michael Hampton and Eddie Hazel dazzling, the personification of funk Bootsy Collins on bass, Bernie Worrells keyboard wizardry and many more, the album was helmed by the genius of George Clinton. Reaching no.12 on the US R&B chart, the album spawned singles Comin Round The Mountain (US R&B No.54) and Smokey (US R&B No.96) and a live remake of 1973s Cosmic Slop from the album of the same name. Recorded during rehearsals for 1976s P-Funk Earth Tour, this version features a vocal introduction dropped from the 1973 studio cut. Over 45 years since its original release, Hardcore Jollies is among Funkadelic and George Clintons best-ever albums and remains a masterful example of their creative genius.
