record collection revisited: The Meters "The Very Best of The Meters"


A friend burned a copy of this record for me quite a while back, and when I heard it for the first time, I was hooked.  The Meters are amazing, with their New Orleans brand of funk that is pretty distinct from Motown or bands like P Funk, Larry Graham etc. etc.  It's still very good music and surely has it's own, spicy flavor.  The gumbo is simmering.  Here's the track list.

1. Cissy Strut
2. Live Wire
3. Sophisticated Cissy
4. Look-ka Py Py
5. Pungee
6. Tippi-Toes
7. Soul Island
8. Cabbage Alley
9. People Say
10. Hey Pocky A-Way
11. Just Kissed My Baby
12. Jungle Man
13. Out In The Country
14. Fire On The Bayou
15. They All Ask'd For You
16. Trick Bag
