Review:
Crazy funk from a crazy-costumed geezer with an equally crazy name! Boobie Knight led an obscure 70’s funk outfit that was somewhere between Sly & The Family Stone and The Jimmy Castor Bunch. His group has a definite guitar-heavy sound that’s a bit blunted, and a bit fuzzed out at times — but which also has a nice soulful edge at it’s best moments. The band here includes vocals by Al Johnson (who may well be the same Al Johnson who went onto later mellow soul fame) — and titles include the crazy “Earth Creature”, plus “The Lovomaniacs”, “Power Greater Than Man”, “Feeling My Cheerios”, and “Woman Will Make You Love”.
