The Meters – Struttin' (Music On Vinyl)

But even if the essential sound remains unchanged, it's only because that organic, earthy funk is the fundamental main feature of the Meters' musical signature. In the past, other groups have tried to match the band, but no one comes close to the original. With "Struttin" the band now introduces vocals for the first time when Art Nevilles takes over on the cover of Ty Hunters' soulful uptown shuffle number "Darling, Darling, Darling", on Jimmy Webbs' groovy ballad "Wichita Lineman" or Lee Dorseys' "Ride Your Pony" (The Meters backed the original recording).
