Funk On Friday - The Meters live!

Well, guess it's time to take this here new Mog for a spin - on Funky Friday ta boot!I love the sound of New Orleans funk, and I learn more and more about the classics from the bayou all the time over at:http://homeofthegroove.blogspot.com/Proprieter Mr Dan Phillips has a massive amount of classic funk at his fingertips and is always sharing an ever-changing line-up of N.O. artists with great detailed write ups. They may be hrting and rebuilding right now, but the efforts of folks like Mr Phillips will keep the Mardi Gras alive!To quote on this track - "Art and Zig shared the vocals on this one. Its insistent funk-sway groove, that Zig plays with a light touch, quickly gets into your system and induces rhythmic movement. Also, listen for the cool, unusual vamp they do at the end. Nice touch. ... To me, "Hey Pocky Way" epitomizes the feel good music it speaks of in the lyrics. Most definitely good for the body and soul. As Art says in the intro, "It's Mardi Gras time all the time, as far as we're concerned." Amen to dat."
