Its so masterful and so alive. Zig and Porter are one of the best rhythm combos in history, and if the groove of Hey Pocky-A-Way does not move you, then you are dead.
An Essential Album of the 20th Century

The review above identifies Leo Nocentelli as lead vocalist on some of the wrong tracks. "Love Is For Me" is sung by Art Neville, as are "Hey Pocky A-Way" and "It Ain't No Use."
Classic

I only have "Hey Pocky A-Way" (which I can play on the drums), but I'm sure the rest is just as awesome!
Also, stop saying these guys started funk. It was James Brown.
Get it right.

In the early seventies i went to N.O. with a friend looking for music. Me for Funk , Him for Jazz. I saw and danced to the METERS in a BAR down there ( i am a new yorker ) and it changed my life. This record was UNAVAILABLE and an OUT OF PRINT collectors Item on VINYL for years ... Don't miss out on it here...
I play guitar, too . If you Do, Learn from Mr. Nocentelli how to chop it good.
holy cow! "It Ain't No Use"...

holy cow! "It Ain't No Use" is a steamy blues with that funked up n'orleans beat.
chills on the listen. guitar is caged fury on the verge of lunging free of the song and surfin' over the percolatin' rhythm .can't get this kind o' stuff anywhere
else (ie the meters). whole album is good but IANU has always been, stop dead in your tracks, cripplin' to me!
The Meters - Rejuvenation

I was fortunate to have experienced the Meters many times in their younger career. I had seen them perform many times in Baton Rouge and New Orleans and always they were Awesome! I saw them play so many familiar songs that I was shocked to find out that their biggest live songs were from Rejunvenation! Hey Pocky A-way is The National Anthem of New Orleans!
The Meters Rule in My Book! Saw them at the 2005 & 2006 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival!

I am a bass player and this album with George Porter Jr.'s great pocket grooving has been one of the biggest influences in my career - I highly recommend it - the WHOLE album!
