Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released on July 12, 1971, 'Maggot Brain' was Funkadelic's third studio album during a pivotal moment in their career. At this time, the band was beginning to carve out their unique identity within the funk genre, moving away from The Parliaments' more straightforward R&B roots. This album showcased their artistic experimentation, particularly with the extended title track that features a legendary guitar solo by Eddie Hazel.
