The Meters
Look-Ka Py Py
Album · R&B/Soul · 1969
Released mere months after their bracing 1969 debut, the paradigm-shifting New Orleans quartet's second dozen instrumental meditations—on as many catchy riffs—enjoy enhanced Allen Toussaint production values. Slowing down James Brown's hyper-funk to a relaxed second-line amble, The Meters jam exquisitely to the soulful "This Is My Last Affair", the spacious "Funky Miracle" and the Mardi Gras tom-tom thump of "The Mob". Drummer Zigaboo Modeliste again earns an MVP award for his ceaselessly inventive patterns.
