The Meters -- Struttin'

  Super Funking Soul brotha outfit The Meters are pioneers in their genre.  Struttin' is mostly, with the exception of three tunes, an instrumental album, the riffs and rhythms are so intricate you get the impression that this is a musicians only release.  The three vocal numbers sung by Art Neville are great Soul numbers, and are not meant to be forgotten just because they have vocals, for these Funking instrumental snobs.  These guys have worked with a slew of luminaries, including doing back-up on Dr. John's most famous albums and tracks.  Get your Chicken Strut on!  And have a Funkin' good time!
