Struttin' LP

Struttin' is the third Meters record, and the first time Art Neville's voice runs the show instead of the band's old call-and-response instrumentals. Leo Nocentelli on guitar, George Porter Jr. on bass, Zigaboo Modeliste on drums, Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn behind the board. "Chicken Strut" hit number 11 on the R&B chart, and Robert Christgau clocked the Caribbean tilt in that New Orleans groove. Nobody in this shop argues with him.
