The Meters (album)
The Meters is the debut studio album by the American funk group The Meters. It was released in May 1969 and is the first of eight albums by the band. The band's early works were developed through improvisation. Band members had spent most of the 1960s performing together in nightclubs of New Orleans. They had a fluid musical style that included elements of R&B, rock and jazz.
Reception
A review by AllMusic noted the album's simplicity and nuance and called it "impressive". Tamara Davidson of Revive Music had a positive review and stated "the album is filled with infectious grooves, filthy bass lines, and revolutionary drum rhythms." According to Brian Knight of The Vermont Review, the album "set the pace for both the Meters and the entire New Orleans funk sound."
