There is funk, and there is Funk. This here is of course the latter. Struttin' is the third studio album by the funk group The Meters, originally released in 1970. The first single was the song 'Chicken Strut'. It reached #11 on the U.S. R\u0026amp;B Singles chart. It may not appear to be drastically different than it's predecessors, at least not on the surface. After all, the title of the lead single 'Chicken Strut' intentionally recalls their previous biggest 'Cissy Strut' and it has the same basic Meters groove. And if the essential sound remains unchanged, that is because that organic, earthy funk is The Meters' signature. Other groups have tried to replicate it, but nobody ever played it better. It was on this album The Meters introduced vocals to their style as well, with Art Neville's leads on covers of Ty Hunter's soulful uptown shuffle 'Darling, Darling, Darling' Jimmy Webb's groovy ballad 'Wichita Lineman' and Lee Dorsey's 'Ride Your Pony' (the Meters provided support on the original recording).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42552995152093,"sku":"8719262004900","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/lfhcdkbihkltzo28zli5.jpg?v=1731236359"},{"product_id":"leo-nocentelli-the-meters-another-side-indie-exclusive","title":"Leo Nocentelli (The Meters)- Another Side (Indie Exclusive Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt just fourteen, Leo Nocentelli was backing up Otis Redding.

The Meters defined New Orleans funk, not only on their own recordings, but also as the backing band for numerous artists, including many produced by Allen Toussaint. Where the funk of Sly Stone and James Brown was wild, careening, and determinedly urban, The Meters were down-home and earthy. Nearly all of their own recordings were instrumentals, putting the emphasis on the organic and complex rhythms. The syncopated, layered percussion intertwined with the gritty grooves of the guitar and organ, creating a distinctive sound that earned a small, devoted cult during the '70s, including musicians like Paul McCartney and Robert Palmer, both of whom used the group as a backing band for recording. Despite their reputation as an extraordinary live band, The Meters never broke into the mainstream, but their sound provided the basis for much of the funk and hip-hop of the '80s and '90s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279175639261,"sku":"603497826025","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4330571-3146460.jpg?v=1727190290"},{"product_id":"the-meters-fire-on-the-bayou-rhino-reserve","title":"The Meters- Fire On The Bayou (Rhino Reserve) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-78ed9070-7fff-d8aa-46f5-03b8b458549d\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eCut from the original tapes and pressed on 180 gram premium-quality vinyl\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WMX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46444926042333,"sku":"081227811709","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4427029-3393124.jpg?v=1747850678"},{"product_id":"meters-look-ka-py-py","title":"The Meters- Look-ka Py Py (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003e1970 seminal second album by New Orleans' The Meters is one of their most beloved releases.

With razor-sharp rhythm, swampy New Orleans flavor, and a sound tighter than a snare drum, they turned instrumental jams into seismic statements. Whether backing legends like Dr. John or spinning out classics like \"Cissy Strut,\" The Meters didn't just play funk - they defined it. One of New Orleans greatest bands was The Meters, which put the Big Easy on the map as a funk and R\u0026amp;B capital in the 1960s and '70s. The group began as an instrumental quartet, cutting eight studio albums between 1969 and 1977. Although they were never officially captured live on record during that time, in 1981 after the group had split, an obscure label called REG Associates released an LP called At Rozy's which presented a performance supposedly taped at a New Orleans nightclub in December 1976. Recent research, however, reveals that the concert was recorded the previous year at a different venue: San Francisco's prestigious The Great American Music Hall.

Recorded in 1975 when the classic lineup of Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr., Joseph \"Zigaboo\" Modeliste and new arrival Cyril Neville was at the peak of it's powers, the live set draws heavily on the band's then-most recent album 'Rejuvenation' and previews it's successor, 'Fire On The Bayou' - commonly regarded by fans and critics alike as The Meters' two best albums. Yet 'Live At Great American Music Hall, San Francisco' digs in even deeper, extending the jams close to 20 minutes with the band absolutely burning across this nine-song set. Several selections from this show appeared on a mysterious, unauthorized and highly coveted 1981 bootleg LP titled 'The Meters At Rozy's'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Minor (Middle of the Road)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMardi Gras Mambo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken Strut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown By the River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople Say\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Kissed My Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJock-A-Mo\/Brother John\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey Pocky A-Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 780627371102\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Sing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46973779640541,"sku":"780627371102","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4451587-3437495.jpg?v=1762831060"},{"product_id":"the-meters-live-at-the-great-american-music-hall-deluxe-with-cd","title":"The Meters- Live At the Great American Music Hall [Deluxe with CD] (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Deluxe Edition includes double vinyl, a turntable mat, the CD, a poster, and a recipe card. Widely hailed as the founding fathers of funk, The Meters laid down the blueprint for groove-heavy music that still echoes through hip-hop, rock, and soul today. With razor-sharp rhythm, swampy New Orleans flavor, and a sound tighter than a snare drum, they turned instrumental jams into seismic statements. Whether backing legends like Dr. John or spinning out classics like \"Cissy Strut,\" The Meters didn't just play funk - they defined it. One of New Orleans greatest bands was The Meters, which put the Big Easy on the map as a funk and R\u0026amp;B capital in the 1960s and '70s. The group began as an instrumental quartet, cutting eight studio albums between 1969 and 1977. Although they were never officially captured live on record during that time, in 1981 after the group had split, an obscure label called REG Associates released an LP called At Rozy's which presented a performance supposedly taped at a New Orleans nightclub in December 1976.
