Formed in '66 with Art Neville, The Meters were New Orleans' official house band for the next decade, backing everyone from local acts (Neville Brothers, Dr. John) to Paul McCartney and Robert Palmer. They also cut their own grooves, many with Allen Toussaint. As the Funky Meters, the band still smokes in live performance. This 16-track set spans '69-'76 - all their biggest singles and best LP cuts for the Josie and Reprise labels. Highlights: The hits "Cissy Strut," "Sophisticated Cissy," "Look-Ka Py Py," "People Say" and "Hey, Pocky A-Way."
アート・ネヴィル（key、vo）を中心とするニューオーリンズ拠点のファンク・バンド、ザ・ミーターズのベスト盤。1997年にRhinoから発売。全16曲。アーシーなニューオーリンズ・ファンク。細かくシンコペイトするリズム。曲はインストゥルメンタルが中心。1980年代以降のファンク、ヒップホップへの影響は大。「Cissy Strut」、「Sophisticated Cissy」、「Look-Ka Py Py」、「Hey Pocky A-Way」、「Fire on the Bayou」他収録
I heard the Meters at a Festival from a DJ and it was so good I had to find out who the songs were by. They are like old blues, funk and old school all in one! Great fun
