The Montgomery Express were a Florida combo who played on the state's small club circuit -- working equally well on their own, or backing up a number of better known singers. The group's got a diversity that's really great -- and they're equally well-suited to longer, trippier funk instrumentals, and shorter more soul-based tunes. The vocal numbers are especially haunting, as they've got a moody and sad feel that's more like New Jersey or Detroit group soul of the time than the usual Miami soul -- and the funkier tunes have a nice psychedelic approach that uses plenty of sweetly-tuned guitar!
