MORE INFO

For Record Store Day, a three LP set featuring all forty single sides the legendary New Orleans funk band released on Josie, Reprise & Warner Bros., their entire singles output save for some obscure overseas sides. Most of the material has never been on vinyl since its original 45 release. . That means that you not only get every hit along with its hard-to-find B-side but also the rare single mixes, including the especially rare original mono single mixes of the 1968-1971 Josie sides, very few of which have been reissued. These songs represent the mother lode of New Orleans funk, classic tracks like “Sophisticated Cissy,” “Cissy Strut,” “Look-Ka Py Py,” “Chicken Strut,” “Hand Clapping Song,” “Hey Pocky A-Way,” and more. And, with liner notes by Bill Dahl featuring quotes from Nocentelli, Neville, and Porter, this 3 LP set (one LP each of red, yellow, green vinyl) offers probably the best retrospective to date of this enormously influential band. (Limited worldwide release of 1000.)

Today keyboardist/vocalist Art Neville passed away due to natural causes at age 81. He is best known for his work with New Orleans group the Meters, who created one of the greatest bodies of work in the funk genre. From 1969's Look-Ka Py Py to 1975's Fire on the Bayou, the Meters had one of the strongest runs of any funk outfit on the planet. What distinguished them was their economical dynamics, precision grooves, and the use of space between beats. Their less-is-more approach manifested in extravagant listening and dancing pleasure. Hearing them at their peak helped you to understand what soulful Southern hospitality sounds like when it's translated to the musical realm. The Meters is some of the most disciplined party music ever created.

While Neville continued to further his legacy in the Funky Meters and the Neville Brothers, he also lent his formidable chops to records by fellow recently departed New Orleans legend Dr. John and to the funkiest sides by Robert Palmer, before the British singer became a pop star in America with 'Addicted to Love.'

On a personal note, Neville and the Meters have figured in many of my DJ sets over the last 20 or so years. It's no exaggeration to say that whenever I've dropped a Meters track, it always provokes smiles, nods, or dancing—sometimes all three. Check out a handful of my faves from his discography below. RIP, Art Neville.
