│ │
│ When the Meters jumped from the Josie label to Reprise in 1972, │
│ their new label seemed intent on crossing them over to a wider │
│ audience. Released in 1974, Rejuvenation, the Meters' second │
│ Reprise album, stands as the best of this period, with their │
│ core funk sound embellished with elements of rock and mainstream │
│ soul. The success of this album can be judged by the fact that │
│ six of these nine songs stayed fixed in the (Funky) Meters │
│ repertoire more than 25 years after they recorded them. Their │
│ version here of "Hey Pocky A-Way" stands as the song's │
│ definitive reading, but tracks such as "People Say," "Just │
│ Kissed My Baby" (featuring the contributions of Lowell George), │
│ "Jungle Man," and "Africa" are career highlights as well, │
│ retaining the power of stripped-down funk while still fleshing │
│ out the sound with punchy horns, background singers, and a more │
│ rock-oriented production. These cuts don't quite reach the level │
│ of the gloriously funky three-minute instrumental nuggets they │
│ made for Josie, but they come very close. --Marc Greilsamer │
