Leo Nocentelli turns 76 today. The lead guitarist and co-founder of The Meters was born in New Orleans in 1946.
To celebrate, open up your streaming service of choice—like, I dunno, Bandcamp—and listen to Another Side, Nocentelli’s long-lost solo “roots rock” album and “a remnant of a vital culture constantly in danger of slipping into the past.”
Then marvel at what one of the greatest funk guitarists of all time can do when he’s channeling his inner James Taylor.
Oh, and maybe buy the record, would you? Septuagenarian musicians gotta eat, too.
