{"product_id":"the-meters-meters-lp-vinyl","title":"The Meters – Meters","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore James Brown's funk empire fully colonized the radio and well before \"funk\" became a genre shorthand, four musicians from New Orleans were quietly building the template in Allen Toussaint's Sea-Saint Studios. That debut LP introduced the world to a rhythm section so locked and telepathic that it would later anchor sessions for Dr. John, Paul McCartney, and Robert Palmer, making the Meters one of the most sampled and studied bands in American music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDebut 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 music scene. The Meters helped move R\u0026amp;B music toward the heavier direction of funk-complicated rhythms meeting economically powerful riffs that were the wave of what was to come.\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. Cissy Strut (3:00)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Here Comes The Meter Man (2:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Cardova (4:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Live Wire (2:35)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Art (2:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Sophisticated Cissy (2:50)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Ease Back (2:55)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. 6V6 LA (2:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Sehorns Farm (2:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Ann (2:40)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Stormy (3:32)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Simple Song (2:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 843563191583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jackpot Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5.25\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 Warner Strategic Marketing United Kingdom (none)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Cissy Strut – 3:04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Here Comes The Meter Man – 2:54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Cardova – 4:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Live Wire – 2:39\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Art – 2:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Sophisticated Cissy – 2:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Ease Back – 3:13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 6V6 LA – 2:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Sehorn's Farm – 2:28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Ann – 2:44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11 Stormy – 3:37\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Sing A Simple Song – 3:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBonus Tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 The Look Of Love – 3:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 Soul Machine – 3:28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547779125566,"sku":"783168","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633304629566-transparent-v2.png?v=1791445679","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/the-meters-meters-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
