Cut from the original tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, this anniversary edition rewards close listening, the kind where you finally catch every pocket Modeliste locks into, every choked guitar chord Nocentelli sneaks between the beats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFire on the Bayou is a staple of New Orleans funk. Originally released in 1975, the album was released the same year that The Rolling Stones had invited The Meters to open for them on their Tour of the Americas. With the album's hit eponymous track along with other classics like \"Mardi Gras Mambo\" and \"They All Ask'd for You,\" Fire on the Bayou is a fantastic blend of the blues, dance and funk grooves that continues to define the New Orleans music scene and is one of the many examples of why The Meters are considered New Orleans royalty. To celebrate Black Music Month and honor the album's 50th anniversary, this album has been cut from the original tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and is pressed locally on 180 gram premium-quality vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing's brand new plant in Oxnard, California as part of the new Rhino Reserve line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Out In The Country\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Fire On The Bayou\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Love Slip Upon Ya\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Talkin' 'Bout New Orleans\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. They All Ask'd For You\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Can You Do Without?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Liar\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. You're A Friend Of Mine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Middle Of The Road\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Running Fast\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Mardi Gras Mambo\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 081227811709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.27.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reprise Records (MS 2228)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1975  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Out In The Country – 3:33\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Fire On The Bayou – 4:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Love Slip Upon Ya – 4:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Talkin' 'Bout New Orleans – 3:31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 They All Ask'd For You – 4:08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Can You Do Without? – 3:47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Liar – 5:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 You're A Friend Of Mine – 4:06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Middle Of The Road – 7:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Running Fast – 1:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB6 Mardi Gras Mambo – 2:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Meters – Arranged By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWardell Quezergue – Arranged By (Horns)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRupert Surcouf, Jr. – Art Direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Porter, Jr. – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCyril Neville – Congas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoseph Modeliste – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Laxton – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoberta Grace – Engineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarshall E.
