The Meters - Rejuvenation

The Meters — Rejuvenation

180-gram limited edition neon vinyl

Mastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound

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.
