Description
Zigaboo Modeliste’s snare ghost-notes on the title track tighten the whole band a notch. Fire On The Bayou finds The Meters at their greasiest New Orleans stride, cutting at Sea-Saint with Cyril Neville adding extra grit. The swamp-funk roll of Love Slip Upon Ya is pure pocket, Art Neville’s clav jabbing between Leo Nocentelli’s clipped guitar. Then They All Ask’d For You wanders out of the parade with a wink, all singalong charm without losing the groove. Compared with Booker T. & the M.G.’s, this sits drier and more second-line, less showy and more irresistible. This LP pressing gives the band room to breathe; low end sits deeper and imaging snaps into place. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Meters records online with us. File it near your 70s funk essentials, but expect those New Orleans rhythms to feel more conversational than aggressive. It suits a cosy kitchen party or a late tidy where the beat keeps moving and nothing fights for attention. The cover art still looks tough on a shelf, and the sequencing makes front-to-back plays easy.
Add it to your collection today, available online or in our Melbourne record store.
