Psychedelic Shack

Released

The first full psychedelic soul album from The Temptations contains only one traditional soul song, with the other seven tracks full of the fuzz and wah wah guitar, sound effects, ‘far out’ lyrical themes, Latin polyrhythmic fire and elongated vamps that characterised Norman Whitfield’s early seventies Motown productions. Entirely written and produced by Whitfield, ‘Psychedelic Shack’ finishes with the churning hippie-funk of ‘Friendship Train’ giving Motown house band The Funk Brothers a chance to show off their impressive musical chops.
