James Knight and his Butlers were part of the Miami sound of the late-’60s and early-’70s, combining funk, rock and psychedelia into one badass package. “Funky Cat” (which also appears on the excellent comp Miami Sound: Rare Funk & Soul From Miami, Florida 1967-1974) builds off drummer Roscoe Rice’s ratatat beat upon Knight’s command, “Now drumma, gimme a nice drum beat so I can move my feet!” The record is loaded with horns, organ and some ripping guitar-work from Knight. “Uncle Joe” is the best seven minutes on here, a mellow funker that builds into a noisy wash of guitars, horns and Knight’s echoed wails. This goes beyond funk into otherworldly psych. Knight and his Fabulous Butlers even whip out a blazing cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Save Me.” This a lost-and-found gem that will satisfy all of your freaky, funky needs.
