The Blueprint of New Orleans Funk
Released in 1969, The Meters is the self-titled debut that officially put New Orleans funk on the map. Featuring the legendary lineup of Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr., and Zigaboo Modeliste, this largely instrumental album introduced the world to their signature highly syncopated, stripped-down groove. Anchored by the massive hit "Cissy Strut," the record laid down a rhythmic foundation that not only defined the funk genre but would go on to be sampled heavily by generations of Hip-Hop artists. A definitive must-have for any serious vinyl collector or funk enthusiast.
