kickback

No city marches to a funkier beat than New Orleans, and no Crescent City band ever upheld the joyous second-line tradition with prouder panache than the Meters. Their eight classic 1969-1977 albums for Josie, Reprise, and Warner Bros.--all of them available on Sundazed--signaled a new and exciting era of Big Easy funk. Now it's time to dig a little deeper: Kickback--in essence, the Meters album that never was--gathers precious rarities from the Meters' mid-'70s Fire On The Bayou/Trick Bag period, including previously unissued gems, newly unearthed alternate versions, and a treasure trove of blistering funk sure to delight fans of the legendary group.
