Greatest FUNK Band Of All Time?

What makes New Orleans funk hit so different? In this episode, we dive into the swampy funk of The Meters, the iconic quartet that’s left its mark on everything from Wu-Tang to Whitney Houston and beyond. We break down Leo Nocentelli’s chicken-scratch guitar, Art Neville’s genius riff comping, Zigaboo’s “direct assault” on the high hat, and the thumping George Porter Jr. bass lines that defined their unique sound. And we explore how NOLA production legend Allen Toussaint provided the perfect roux to cook up The Meters’ musical gumbo — simple yet complex, country yet urban, and 100% groovin’! Tune in for stories of Adam’s funky DVD menu discoveries, Peter’s Snug Harbor gig with Meters’ royalty, and how the culture of the crescent city produced what may be the greatest funk band of all time.
