Dean Ween Covers His Favorite Parliament Song As A Tribute To Bernie Worrell [Listen]

Ween guitarist Mickey Melchiondo aka “Dean Ween” and keyboardist Glenn McClelland have released a cover of the classic Parliament track “Liquid Sunshine” in honor of the recently passed Bernie Worrell, who wrote the track for the group’s 1978 Motor Booty Affair album. The famed keyboardist, who finally succumbed to his battle with cancer late last month, was the architect of many of P-Funk’s biggest hits.

Melchiondo and McClelland had this to say about the cover: “A tribute to the funkiest keyboard player to ever grace this planet, or anywhere in the known universe. I’m not even sure he was from this planet actually, a once in a lifetime master along the lines of Jimi, or Ravi Shankar.This was always my favorite Bernie track—the whole Motor Booty affair record actually. I consider it his P-Funk masterpiece, the whole damn album is the best P-Funk keyboard record to my ears. Rest in P Doctor Woo. Glenn McClelland and Deaner.”
