FIRE ON THE BAYOU (180GM VINYL)

'Fire on the Bayou' was the sixth album by New Orleans funk band The Meters, First released in 1975, 'Fire On The Bayou' established once again that The Meters were still the undisputed masters of funk, Tracks like "Can You Do Without", "Out In The Country" and the title track have become staples in the Meters' songbook.


Hailing from the streets of New Orleans, The Meters essentially invented the second line groove, infuencing funk music like no other artist aside from a singer by the name of James Brown, As essentially one united rhythm section, they excelled in expertly timed drum breaks, bass driven grooves, bluesy chicken scratch guitars and Southern sing along choruses.


This 2LP, 180 gram edition also contains 5 bonus tracks.
