Post Description

The Meters defined New Orleans funk, not only on their own recordings, but also 
as the backing band for numerous artists, including many produced by Allen 
Toussaint. Where the funk of Sly Stone and James Brown was wild, careening, and 
determinedly urban, The Meters were down-home and earthy. Nearly all of their 
own recordings were instrumentals, putting the emphasis on the organic and 
complex rhythms. The syncopated, layered percussion intertwined with the gritty 
grooves of the guitar and organ, creating a distinctive sound that earned a 
small, devoted cult during the '70s, including musicians like Paul McCartney and 
Robert Palmer, both of whom used the group as backing band for recording. 
Despite their reputation as an extraordinary live band, the Meters never broke 
into the mainstream, but their sound provided the basis for much of the funk and 
hip-hop of the '80s and '90s.

Fifty tracks representing all of the New Orleans funksters output for Josie 
Records from the late 1960's to the early 1970's. This fine 2CD reissue on 
Charly Records features The Meters three complete original albums "The Meters" 
(1969), "Look-Ka Py-Py" (1970) and "Struttin'" (1970) plus singles and rarities 
from their much-sampled catalogue. What makes this set unique is that this is 
the first time that The Meters' entire body of work released on Josie Records
becomes available in one collection.
