Album notes
The Meters: Leo Nocentelli (guitar); Arthur "Art" Neville (keyboards); George Porter, Jr. (bass); Joseph "Zig" Modeliste (drums); Cyril Neville (congas). Additional personnel includes: Earl King (vocals); Squirrel (congas); Terry "Pesuki" Smith, Tony Owens (background vocals). Producers include: Allen Toussaint, Marshall E. Sehorn, The Meters, David Rubinson & Friends. Compilation producers: John Brenes, Don Snowden, James Austin. Includes liner notes by A. Scott Galloway and Don Snowden. FUNKIFY YOUR LIFE is the definitive Meters collection, capturing the group's transformation from slinky instrumentalists to rollicking funkateers. Disc 1, THE JOSIE YEARS, overflows with the band's trademark sound-Art Porter's breezy Hammond organ playing, George Porter's bubbling bass, Ziggy Modeliste's in-the-pocket timekeeping, and Leo Nocentelli's crackling jazz-flavored guitar style. This batch of '60s-era tracks contains the Meters' lone Top 40 hits ("Cissy Strut," "Sophisticated Cissy"), and songs such as "Look-Ka Py Py" and "Same Old Thing" dig deeply into the kind of syncopated groove normally associated with the JB's. Later material like "Zony Mash" and "Stretch Your Rubber Band" experiments with the nuances of bass-heavy reggae and psychedelic funk. Disc 2, THE REPRISE/WARNER BROS YEARS, consists of the Meters' '70s output, where Cyril Neville joined the line-up, and the band started adding more vocals to the mix. This period found the Meters expanding their sound, exploring soulful Caribbean sounds ("Soul Island"), funky New Orleans dance crazes ("Do The Dirt"), party anthems ("Hey Pocky A-Way"), and sinewy funk ("Africa," later covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers). These songs and more make this Meters anthology a sadly overlooked example of New Orleans funk.
