{"product_id":"the-meters-fire-on-the-bayou-rhino-reserve","title":"The Meters - Fire on the Bayou (Rhino Reserve)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Meters' Fire on the Bayou is New Orleans funk at full boil, the 1975 album now reissued in the Rhino Reserve line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt Neville, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter Jr. and Zigaboo Modeliste were already the city's most in-demand rhythm section by the time they cut this record, having backed artists from Dr. John to the many singers in Allen Toussaint's orbit. Produced by Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn, it catches them stretching beyond the lean instrumentals of their early singles into fuller, vocal-led songs without losing an ounce of that famous, elastic pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track is the anthem, a swampy, chanting groove so infectious that it became a Mardi Gras staple. \"Out in the Country\" opens with a laid-back, rolling feel, \"They All Ask'd for You\" is a playful, sing-along nod to the city and its characters, and \"Talkin' 'Bout New Orleans\" wears its hometown pride proudly. Modeliste's drumming throughout is a joyful masterclass in syncopation and swing. Porter's bass and Nocentelli's choppy guitar lock together so tightly they sound like a single instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalf a century later, this is still the sound of New Orleans getting down, loose, greasy and utterly irresistible. Drop the needle and see how long you can possibly keep still.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67768836915490,"sku":"081227811709","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/The_Meters-Fire_on_the_Bayou_Rhino_Reserve.jpg?v=1794377237","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/the-meters-fire-on-the-bayou-rhino-reserve","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
