Limited Edition 160g Fire Colored Vinyl LP!
Fire on the Bayou is the sixth album by the funk band The Meters, released in 1975.
The Meters are an American funk band based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Meters performed and recorded their own music from the late 1960s until 1977. The band played an influential role as backing musicians for other artists, including Lee Dorsey, Robert Palmer, and Dr. John. The Meters acted as the house band for Allen Toussaint's New Orleans soul classics of the 1960s and are responsible for bringing New Orleans second line grooves into popular music.
"The Meters' third album for Reprise, Fire on the Bayou, is their best record for the label for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the high quality of material throughout the record and a focus from the band that keeps the music simmering...keeps things rolling, nice and smooth...it has more grit and presence than its compatriots." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com
