The second album by Art Neville's band continues the sound that made them New Orleans legends. In addition to the title track, there's plenty of funk aboard in songs like like "Pungee," "9 'Til 5," "Rigor Mortis," "Funky Miracle," and "Yeah, You're Right." This 1999 reissue also features two previously unreleased bonus tracks, "Grass" and "Borro."
I know that the Meters are hardly unknown on MOG, but there's never a "wrong" time to play them.According to bassist George Porter, they got the riff for this tune from a burnt piston in the engine of the band's van. After a while, Zig started drumming on the inside of the roof, then Art started singing "bom she bom bom".The rest is history
I am moving to New Orleans in a few weeks. I think I saw, on CodyB's page, a best of New Orleans 101. Anyone have a few incisive recommendations for me knowing what little you do about my tastes based on recent Mogging. I feel uncomfortably ignorant.
