The Meters
Comment:
The Meters made their name with a molten mixture of funky grooves and Mardi Gras moves, but their succulent sound fits in all across the musical menu. Art Neville’s urgent organ jabs and Leo Nocentelli’s serpentine guitar licks transform Sly & The Family Stone’s “Sing a Simple Song” so completely that you’d swear the tune emerged straight from the minds of the Meters. The fearless foursome even finds a way to make Neil Young’s bittersweet ballad “Birds” their own, slowing down and sweetening up without losing a bit of their bite. They can kick into a Kingston rhythm, too, putting a little swamp in their skank on Bob Marley's "Stop That Train."
