Sooooo many good funk albums out there...

First one I'd like to throw out is The Meters Rejuvenation. The Meters are from New Orleans and backed a number of artists including the late great Dr. John, a personal fave. They also include another of my faves, Art Neville on keys — he is part of The Neville Brothers, who were on regular rotation at my house growing up. Anyway, The Meters def capture the N'awlins sound and I think are an underappreciated band with some seriously funky tunes under their belt. They don't get enough credit for their involvement in creating funk — everyone knows James Brown's influence, but The Meters were right there along side him.

Anywho, I recommend y'all check out the tune Just Kissed My Baby, it's bound to put a smile on your face.
