In the Right Place

CD-Charts > Music > Piano
by: Dr. John

Release Date June 28, 1990
This CD is funky throughout, with some slow gems in between. I got it for the title track & "Such a Night", since I am in love with "The Last Waltz" version, but the rest of the album is a joy to listen to. Great horns by the Meters & the soulful voice of The Doctor! Especially nice with the Summer coming along...

Goin' Back to New Orleans

CD-Charts > Music > Piano
by: Dr. John

Release Date June 16, 1992
If you like "Gut Bucket" or "Barrelhouse" Blues, then these sides by Dr. John are for you! Done in a traditional New Awlins' style, backed by a treasure chest of GREAT artist's, such as: the Neville Brothers, Pete Fountain & Al Hirt! I was particularly intrigued by the late Prince Partridge tune: "How Come My Dog Don't Bark (When you come round')which,
written in the 40's, I had not heard for years! GREAT STUFF, Dr. John!
Encore, Encore!

If this album doesn't get your toes a-tappin' you need surgery. While not the "best" of this genre, this album is crammed with fun music and it is well recorded to boot! Hard to beat the beat! Intense piano. HIGHLY recommended as an introduction for those wanting to hear what boogie is about. Woogie woogie! Five stars!
