Album:

Track:
I find it impossible to keep up with the volume of stellar releases this year. It's as if all my favorite and future-favorite artists got mad inspired over the winter of '07 and now the tunes flow like a mighty river. And, while high and mighty record companies fall from CD-dependency, independent labels continue to prosper with limited edition vinyl releases and digital download options. So...

The Meters.

Album:

Track:
These guys are from a well known town that i love called New Orleans. They have been making music together for over four decades and show no sign of slowing down any time soon. New Orleans is home to some nasty ass funk and this band definately fits the mold and lives up to the Big Easy's standards.

SUNDAY COVERS - THE METERS PLAY THE BEATLES
-
Artist:
-
Track:
Much as I love the Meters music in general, I think this tune misses the mark spectacularly, as they add little to a typical John Lennon dirge. Mind you, millions of you out there love the Beatles in all their forms, so let's see what YOU all think of this track - not up to me to say what's good or bad, as it all depends on individual taste. Comments awaited with interest.
