I got that Cissy Strut

I've been hittin' re-wind again lately and revisiting all the things that paved the way to hip-hop. The Meters laid down one of the funkiest tracks ever produced with their 1969 classic instrumental 'Cissy Strut' from the debut album!

This thing comes sliding in with a gentle 'yea' before completely 'funkifying' you and then just keeps the groove rolling for three tight minutes. These guys set the stage for New Orleans R&B and Funk and were followed by notable acts like The Wild Tchoupitoulas and others.

I bet you know this groove even if the name doesn't ring a bell. Dig it up regardless, because funk never felt so good!
