AMG Review of The Very Best of the Meters
Thom Jurek
All Music GuideThe bottom line is that, as a label, the U.K.'s Charly usually gets it right and tight. That is certainly the case with this 23-cut Meters compilation. On a single disc they manage to cram virtually every major track by the band into one place for a decent price. There are some wonderful surprises, too. While the one notable omission is the amazing version of Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman" that the band does, the easy and breezy soul of "Sophisticated Cissy" is included, along with "Cissy Strut." Art Neville's amazing soul tune "Heartache" is also on this set. Those are singled out because you know what the rest is: Meters-style New Orleans funk, played with shock-tight rhythms and all the grooves a listener might ever want. This is a fantastic introduction to one of the greatest musical units to come out of New Orleans ever.

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.

The song, titled "They All Ask'd For You," was recorded by the original Meters during the '70s and was based on an ancient New Orleans nursery rhyme, as interpreted by drummer "Zigaboo" Modeliste. It can currently be found on Funkify Your Life: the Meters Anthology (Rhino), one of OffBeat's "100 Essential Louisiana CDs.This track I took from my copy of " The Very Best of the Meters", and was wr...

Well, I couldn't make it to the big ol' MOG party, but I bet it sounded something like this.
