Johnny Guitar Watson. Mister Magic. 1977.
Johnny Guitar Watson is said to be the guy that turned Sly Stone onto freebase. He's also a pretty renowned guitar diddler from way back. Here's some of his later 70's funky stuff, a little Grover Washington Jr. cover. That's a real mother for ya.

Mickey Baker is a bona fide shredder and I think I just heard Memphis Slim's keys squeedle at the 1:58 mark. Make the sweet music, dudes.
