2cd Digibook Set – All Of The Classic Tracks That The Meters Recorded For Allen Toussaint’s Label

The Meters were New Orleans’ premier instrumental band during the late 60s and seventies. They played on numerous sessions for legendary producer Allen Toussaint, providing the backing for many of the New Orleans stars that Toussaint worked with including Lee Dorsey and Betty Harris.

The group were also a formidable recording outfit in their own right, scoring a string of significant hits for Toussaint’s Josie label between 1969 and 1971. This is the first time that their entire body of work released on Josie Records has been made available in a single collection.

Here Comes The Meter Man is a 2CD set in a deluxe digi-book featuring new liner notes and includes all their biggest hits, including, Sophisticated Cissy, Look-Ka Py Py and Cissy Strut.

Box com todos os compactos e albums lançados pelo The Meters e os compactos lançados por Art Neville e Cyril Neville em conjunto com a banda. Não estão incluídos neste box as sobras de estúdio do período. Estas Faixas foram colocadas nos relançamentos em CD pelas empresas Rhino e Sundazed, vale também lembrar que possuem qualidade sonora superior a este release que lhes é apresentado.

The Meters are an American funk band based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Meters performed and recorded their own music from the late 1960s until 1977. The band played an influential role as backing musicians for other artists, including Lee Dorsey and Dr John.
While The Meters rarely enjoyed significant mainstream success, they are considered along artist like James Brown one of the progenitors of funk music and their work is highly influential on many other bands, both their contemporaries and modern musicians working in the funk idiom.
The Meters’ sound is defined by an earthy combination of tight melodic grooves and highly syncopated New Orleans “second-line” rhythms under highly charged guitar and keyboard riffing. Their songs “Cissy Strut” and “Look-Ka Py Py” are considered funk classics.
