Debut 1969 album by New Orleans The Meters.
Led by organist Art Neville, the quartet was rounded out by jazz-influenced guitarist Leo Nocentelli, along with the bubbling rhythm section of bassist George Porter, Jr. and drummer Joseph “Zigaboo Modeliste.
Their regional influences were a smashing together of rock n roll, syncopated second line rhythms from Mardi Gras parades, and jazz improvisations that only could have come from the New Orleans musicscene.
The Meters helped move R&B music toward the heavier direction of funkcomplicated rhythms meeting economically powerful riffs that were the wave of what was to come.
