5.0 out of 5 stars A real good one, August 30, 2000

By 

William Jones (Rockville, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fire on the Bayou (Audio CD)

I think this album was recorded just before Rejuvenation, perhaps 1974. Love Slip Upon Ya is perhaps the greatest Meters song up to this point unreleased on CD. Several other classics, available on the Rhino 2 CD re-release (Funkify Your Life) are also here. As with all the Meters' albums in the '70s, it's all over the place. Funk, and more. Compared to Cabbage Alley and Rejuvenation, it's not quite as good. Still, this is one of the best examples of Funk music in the 70's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Predictable? I think not Dorky Butt!, February 21, 2005

Obviously Dorky Butt knows nothing about Music, this is a musical materpiece. The Meters are the kings of groove and feel good sounds. This is a testament to their versatility and originality. I recommend this to anyone who knows good music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Meters Funk, May 31, 2008

I echo the comment about Dorky Blue who seems to like Kenny G. This funky soul stew is too raw for his tastes which seems to be for elevator music. Classic disc when issued on lp and still sounds fresh today.
