Considered by many as the definition of New Orleans Funk the Meters not only recorded their own albums but were often used as session artists for more known artists. Their fans included Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger and their sound differed from other Funk bands of the era with a gritty, earthy sound that gave them a more natural feel. They were barely commercially successful outside of their native Louisiana but national obscurity has not prevented other artists from reaching the hallowed halls of Cleveland.
