Good ol' funky Meters
The complicated history of the Meters. This band is a big paradox : despite their legendary reputation as musical innovators, “inventors” the New Orleans funk style (also baptized “second line funk” or “bayou funk”), and extraordinary live act, and although they recorded hit songs, they never managed to establish themselves as a mainstream group. Formed in 1965, The Meters developed a brilliant combination of tight melodic grooves and syncopated New Orleans "second line" rhythms highly charged with the organ, guitar, bass and drums each weaving lines trading off melody and rhythm roles seamlessly.
