Today I'm joined by Elroy Finn, singer-songwriter and Crowded House drummer, on the eve of his self-titled LP 'Elroy''s release, to talk about the iconic cult r&b album 'Inspiration Information' by Shuggie Otis. We talk about how the album is suitable for all moods and occasions, how the song Strawberry Letter 23 and its appearance in movies helped people discover Shuggie, how young Shuggie was when he made this record, the power and pitfalls of making a record by yourself, the classic drum machines Shuggie uses on the album, the advantages of keeping lyrics vague, and how music can infiltrate your hangs.
