Since debuting in the ‘70s, George Clinton's Parliament and Funkadelic have delivered funk raunchiness and cosmic profundity in equal doses, a potent mix evident even beyond their most sampled earworms. Fairy-tale figures and monsters get recast in a bawdy light on groovers like “Rumpofsteelskin” and “Bootzilla”, while their take on the traditional “Swing Down, Sweet Chariot” finds Clinton funkifying the spiritual through his peculiar prism.
