Description

Rejuvenation is the finest studio album by The Meters, the New Orleans band whose locked-in, syncopated grooves made them the most influential funk ensemble to emerge from the Crescent City. As the house band at Allen Toussaint's Sea-Saint Studios, The Meters backed artists from Lee Dorsey to Robert Palmer, but their own records stand as the purest expression of New Orleans funk.

Hey Pocky A-Way is the album's most celebrated track, its irresistible second-line rhythm making it a Mardi Gras perennial. People Say carries an infectious vocal melody over the band's trademark pocket groove. Just Kissed My Baby opens with a drum intro that has been sampled countless times. It Ain't No Use and Loving You Is on My Mind demonstrate the range of a band equally comfortable with tight funk workouts and soulful ballads. Art Neville's organ, Leo Nocentelli's guitar, George Porter Jr.'s bass and Zigaboo Modeliste's drums remain one of the tightest rhythm sections in the history of popular music.
