1970 album by New Orleans’ The Meters. Cut from the Original Analog Master tapes by Kevin Gray. High Quality Vinyl Release. Limited Blue Vinyl Edition. Features the hit single “Chicken Strut”. Seminal New Orleans funk. Similar in sound to Look-Ka Py Py, Struttin' distinguished itself with its increased emphasis on Art Neville‘s vocal stylings. (As opposed to the call-and-response shouted choruses from previous albums.) The album included the R&B Singles hit “Chicken Strut”, soulful covers of Lee Dorsey, Ty Hunter, and even Jimmy Webb, and directed the group into a more expansive sound than before, rendering one of the most organic sounds in their discography. Classic samples abound across Struttin’ with everyone from Dilla to A Tribe Called Quest to Whitney Houston, has had their way with Handclapping Song.
