The Meters - Soul Machine (Instrumental)



The world is full of great drum breaks but this one right here is the one for me. It's ripped from a Josie Records 7" reissue which comes as a part of this box set. I used to think this was an OG Meters tune but than I heard cand got confused. The two cuts are almost identical and they have more in common than you might know. I'm not gonna cover the issue but if you're interested, check out Home Of The Groove's in-depth article on the topic. The blog contains A LOT of information about the New Orleans funk scene.

Thanks

It's a shame Warner Stratgeic Music Marketing didn't release any of these instrumentals on CD. My Linn Sondek has now been sold!

Hopefully, someone will do a nice FLAC rip of the Funk 45's box set soon :)
