In 1975 Parliament released the album “Mothership Connection” an album that would cement the group in the history books, inspiring generations of musicians for decades. It’s somehow simultaneously timeless, but also VERY of it’s time. Today we’re diving into this album: the story, the sounds, the influence, and also the time it came out of, and seeing how Parliament went on to be one of the most important bands in music history. So put a glide in your stride, and a dip in your hip, and come on up to the mothership!
