Rejuvenation (The Meters album). This album was the follow-up. It was produced by Allen Toussaint and recorded at his brand new Sea-Saint Studio in New Orleans Influence. This album's influence is detectable in the work of a number of artists who have performed renditions of its songs. The Red Hot Chili Peppers did.

With 'Cabbage Alley' (The Meters' first record for Reprise) the band began to smooth out it's sound, moving away form the more down-and-dirty approach of it's earlier releases. This trend continues with the superb 1974 release Rejuvenation.

Rejuvenation, their fifth album, marks the point when the New Orleans four-piece became simply unassailable as a tight funk unit. Their dense, repetitive sound, which placed the rhythm section at its very centre, had earned them a mighty reputation. Mick Jagger, no less, was to say that they were the best motherf band in the world. So although there is material here with the brevity and snap of their legendary early hit, Cissy Strut, Rejuvenation represents a febrile merger of funk and swamp rock. Having Art Neville as a vocalist meant The Meters simply were not just a groove band. Song-based material includes Love Is for Me which, with its sweet, soulful female backing vocals, sounds like some lost Atlantic B side from a decade earlier. It Ain’t No Use shows the debt that Eric Clapton’s records, too, owed to The Meters. By the time it gets into its jamming section – it is nearly 12-minutes long – it has become a showcase for Joseph Modeliste’s remarkable drumming, coming across like a funk Keith Moon.

The Meters’ laid-back yet intense style of funk continued evolving on 1974’s Rejuvenation, their fifth album and second for Reprise. Co-producing with the great Allen Toussaint, the quartet filled out their sound with the subtle deployment of horns and female backing singers - not to mention the increasing use of guitarist Leo Nocentelli’s own lead vocals. The result helped them fit in a little more comfortably with the rest of the funk pack, but didn’t alter the group’s interplay, which remained as singular as that of the JB’s

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.
