What a legacy. We were listening to The Meters the other night - it sounded pretty amazing. We made a pact to pick up all The Meters LPs that aren't in the collection. 

Here's one of about a bazillion cool records he was involved in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wDASwF1Swc

Thank you, Mr Toussaint

Besides his production work, his solo stuff is amazing. Check out the Southern Nights LP. I was super lucky to meet him a few years ago and see him play. He was such a laid-back, nice guy.
