The Meters - Meters


One of the greatest albums ever in the history of funk -- the first album by The Meters, and virtually the blueprint for countless funk records to come! The album's bubbling over with classics -- all hard-hitting instrumentals played by the group in an effortlessly tight style, produced to perfection by Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn in their classic 60s New Orleans style. A blinding masterpiece of bass, drums, and scratchy guitar -- with tracks that include "Cardova", "Cissy Strut", "Sophisticated Cissy", "Here Comes The Meter Man", "Ease Back", "Ann", "6V6 La", and "Live Wire".

Big thanks for these three funky albums!

Even after years of digging, these three albums still represent my favorite funky jams.

On a side note, what's up with your RSS feed. When I click on the RSS icon, it sends me to Rapidshare? Any ideas? Alternatives.

Keep up the great work!

I had to give up my copy of the first album so it was nice to find it here as a sort of a back up.

You got stellar stuff all around though.

Anybody who's got the Meters is good by me. This album is the foundation. Linking you from my blog, Musicophilia (http://musicophilia.wordpress.com) that covers everything from library funk (check the 'Musique du Monde' series) to post-punk ('1981'), musique concrete, electronics, etc.
