Drop a needle on a Meters record and the first thing you'll notice is the kick. The \u003cstrong\u003eToussaint\u003c\/strong\u003e\/\u003cstrong\u003eSehorn\u003c\/strong\u003e production brings the drums hard and to the top. The Meters also got that Nawlins Twang workin which makes their sound unique. This is the first LP which is full of songs made famous via funky 45. \"Cissy Strut\" starts the LP and has become the definition of the Meters' sound. \"Here Comes the Meter Man\" is a drum and cymbal heavy groover that sounds like Animal from the Muppets is on drums. Watch out for sneak attack break outro that was looped on Beats for Jugglers 2. Track 3 \"Cardova\" is my favorite on this album with that sinister bass and drum that \u003cstrong\u003eBabu\u003c\/strong\u003e used on \u003cem\u003eComprehension\u003c\/em\u003e (the part he skratches \"Check it out\"). Many more chunky beats and laid back grooves. I heard Linda Ronstadt hit all the Nevilles. Do they got Popeye's Fried Chicken in New Orleans? Can I get a Po-Boy?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecut from original analog master tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Jackpot Records 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by the mgmnt 10\/2005\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"The Meters","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":42192871030874,"sku":"fr-5370","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/themeters-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1755805111","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/the-meters-the-meters-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
