Andi ChorleyMiami Sound (Rare Funk & Soul From Miami, Florida 1967-1974), released on Soul Jazz in 2003.
A much-needed look at the funky Miami scene of the late 60s and early 70s -- the new powerhouse of southern soul, after the slowdown in the scenes in Memphis and Muscle Shoals! The Miami sound was harder, tighter, rawer, and faster than that of other southern outlets -- based around a really strong ability to pick up a little riff, cook it up nicely, and create the perfect backdrop for sock-soul vocals. By the mid 70s, Miami was topping the charts with disco tunes that sprung out of this energy -- but the tracks on this set are all heavy-hitters from the pre-disco years -- kickass funky tunes that burn like a box full of rare funky 45s! - Dusty Groove
