Of the numerous musicians who have played along with George Clinton in his Parliament/Funkadelic mob, perhaps the most mysterious of them all would be guitarist Tal (aka 'Tawl') Ross. Next to being one of the original Funkadelics, Ross was a vital force (and responsible for many of the rhythms and chords of the early material) on such early classics as 'Funkadelic', 'Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow', 'Osmium' and 'Maggot Brain'. Tal Ross left the band in 1971 after a shattering encounter with LSD that made him leave the music scene and his New Jersey home altogether. He went to live in a small town in North Carolina, working and playing acoustic guitar. Years went by without any word from Ross ... until 1995, when out of nowhere he issued his first solo album: 'Giant Shirley'. Alternating between red hot and cool funk, the album takes the listener on a fantastic journey not witnessed since Clinton and company's early '70s output. This unique album is far from the standard 'shake your whatever' genericness that the majority of the P-Funk camp had embraced by this point and comes highly recommended for fans of Parliament/Funkadelic (and for '70s psychedelic/funk rock collectors in general).
