The long awaited first solo album by legendary guitarist and musical director of Parliament/Funkadelic for 30 years Blackbyrd McKnight has now been dropped.

Blackbyrd McKnight:

....

Blackbyrd McKnight presents Progressive Funk Rock.

His passion to unite Funk and Jazz to Rock people came from his experiences working with Perliament/Funkadelic, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Bill Laswell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ice Cube, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock & The Head Hunters, Charles Lloyd, Sonny Rollins, Brides of Dr. Funkenstein, Macy Gray, HR of Bad Brains, Fishbone, Slapback, Toshi Kubota and more. Friends of Myspace are exclusively invited to experience Blackbyrd McKnight's world of Progressive Funk Rock.

(1)Funkarockaholic - One of the most important new works by Blackbyrd McKnight. You will be struck by lightning.

(2)P.T.P.B. - Blackbyrd's unusual talents do not allow him to remain in one world. Click play to fly on to Psychedelic Funk World.

(3)03(Number three) - Blackbyrd's wild and talking like guitar solo will fascinate listeners.

(4)Joke of the Butt - Groove Master Blackbyrd McKnight did it again. Funk or walk?

Enjoy!

Hey Blackbyrd, it's been awhile my brotha. Thanx for your kind words, and I'm glad you like my music. I'm surprised that we never meet back in the day, I grew up hangin' out with Amp fiddler, and Billy Parker back in Detroit. I love your playing, man. And yes, let's stay in touch

Peace and Inspiration
