Meters

Fire On The Bayou (2lp)(+5)

Pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl and including five bonus tracks, this is a reissue of their sixth album, originally released in 1975. Hailing from the soggy streets of New Orleans, the Meters essentially invented the second line groove, influencing funk music like no other artist (OK, apart from a singer by the name of James Brown). These cats are essentially one unified rhythm section, with expertly timed drum breaks, bass driven grooves, bluesy chicken scratch guitars and Southern sing along choruses. Their 1975 album 'Fire On The Bayou' established once again that The Meters were still the undisputed masters of Funk. This 2LP edition contains no less than 5 bonus tracks. These are 'Running Fast', 'Keep On Marching', 'He Bite Me', 'Mothers Love' and 'Jambalaya'.
