LP - Indies Exclusive Blue Jay Vinyl (2023 Reissue). 1970 album by New Orleans’ The Meters. Cut from the Original Analog Master tapes by Kevin Gray. High Quality Vinyl Release.
Seminal New Orleans funk here from Allen Tousaint’s long-time house band. Classic samples abound across Struttin’, the band’s 1970 LP - everyone from Dilla to A Tribe Called Quest has had their way with Handclapping Song. But the songs, from the muscular r&b of Chicken Strut to the lights-low soul of Wichita Lineman, are strong enough that they deserve to be heard in their own right.
