"Anchored by seamless jam sessions and syncopated grooves, which Neville would call 'tight, sparse and funky as the fuckin' devil,' The Meters evolved from unfussy, mostly instrumental tracks to full-throated, expansive funk that reached an apex on their fifth album, Rejuvenation, in 1974. With deep-fried grooves, astounding musicianship and a reverence for their history both in New Orleans and in Africa, this album has only felt more vital with age. While it didn't sell as many copies as the record deserved at the time, it's a product of these band members' years of hard work gigging in sweaty night clubs, backing up other artists as session players and persevering through a thankless industry. Above all, it's a testament to New Orleans." Originally released by Reprise. 180 gram yellow vinyl. (AAA) Lacquers Cut from the original analog tapes by Ryan Smith, Sterling Sound; Plated at Welcome to 1979. Listening Notes booklet by Josh Terry. Art Print by Julia Fletcher.

An outstanding live recording capturing one of American music's great bands in full power. Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr., Ziggy Modeliste, and Cyril Neville, five master musicians from Louisiana who literally reinvented the New Orleans groove tradition. Recorded live for WNOE radio broadcast in January 1977, this is an invaluable document of the band delivering their greasy second-line funk in a small super-hot joint in a suburb of the legendary Crescent City. Line-up: Art Neville - organ, vocals; Leo Nocentelli - guitar, vocals; George Porter Jr. - bass; Ziggy Modeliste - drums, vocals; Cyril Neville - percussion, vocals.

"This is The Meters first album with Cyril Neville as a member. On Fire On The Bayou you'll not only find echoes of their early R&B funkiness, but also some very New Orleans songs like 'Talkin' 'Bout New Orleans', 'They All Ask'd For You', and 'Mardi Gras Mambo'. The band also gets down and funky 'Rejuvenation'-style with tracks like 'Fire On The Bayou', 'Love Slip Upon Ya', 'Can You Do Without?' and 'Liar,' which are best placed in-between on the folksy R&B 'Out in the Country' (love that chord progression) and the jazzy guitar workout 'Middle of the Road'. This album exudes the New Orleans spirit--musically as well as lyrically, extolling the virtues of great food, bayou living, and Mardi Gras."
