Dr. John
“Tribal”
(429 Records, 2010)
————————————-
Riding high on his ongoing role in the HBO TV series, Treme, the illustrious New Orleans jazz-blues-funk guru known as Dr. John (aka, Mac Rebennack) is in fine form on this boisterous, assertive, super-funky album. The backing band is tight (contemporary blues star Derek Trucks throws in a few licks, along with Dr. John’s current crew…) and the lyrics have a laser-beam focus, including several songs with a searing social message… Not too hard to understand, considering all that Louisiana’s been through lately. If you’re a Dr. John fan, you won’t be disappointed — this record is relevant and persuasive — and if you’re new to the Doctor’s swampy roots-voodoo stew, you’re in for a treat. Don’t forget to dig into his early stuff as well! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music)

Untill Mr. English’s wittily titled “Doc in a Box” arrives on the scene, “Mos’ Scocious : The Dr. John Anthology” is a fine 2-CD set covering up to ’93. It nicely took care of my needs for a number of years. Today, Aug 2010, I see that an import box set, Original Album Series:Babylon/Dr. John’S Gumbo/Gris Gris/In The Right Place/The Sun, Moon & Herbs, is avaliable. 5 albums for $18, NEW! I may have to pick that up, just because.
I went on a LIVE Dr. John quest earlier this year for my B-Day and picked up: Trippin’ Live, the obscure Dr. John and Cris Barber(leader of a British Dixieland band), the Live at Montreaux DVD, as well as Dr.John Plays Mac Rebennack (The Legendary Sessions Volume 1 – not live but as intimate as it gets)… All were deeply satisfying.
See him if you get a chance, he’s a World Treasure.

Dr John’s new album is as fresh and innovative as any music he’s done in the last thirty years! How does he do it? Most of his contemporaries are getting by singing their old hits in casinos and concerts. Dr John is still fresh-still pounding out songs with the same musicality and funky feel. Three bars into any Dr. John song and you know it’s his music. He’s covered many other artist’s songs, but few can cover his- and no one else can come up with that sound- that music.
Most of the songs on this album are short. There’s a lot of versitality in the music on this album. He could have turned any one of these songs into a ten minute riff, but instead he chose to give us a taste of many things from his menu. You get the feeling that the good doctor has a lot more to say.
