Synopsis

Album Description
The Meters' prolific run of '70s albums established the incomparable foursome as the premier exponents of New Orleans funk, blending syncopated rhythms with gritty guitar/organ grooves to stir up a musical gumbo that's grown ever tastier with the passage of time. The quartet's 1970 sophomore album is one of the legendary combo's most beloved releases, and a quintessential evocation of the Meters' peerless greatness. The album features their immortal smashes "Look-Ka Py Py" and "Chicken Strut," along with a dozen more classic slices of deep-fried New Orleans funk, including the previously unreleased bonus tracks "Grass" and "Borro."

No deeper funk alive

"The Meters were the most underrrated band to emerge out of the late 60s/early 70s funk explosion.



This is music that would not only inform 70s r&b but would filter into the jazz of the day. And the band was just amazing -funky guitar and organ riffs, and a beautifully understated but stunningly precise rhythm section."
