The best record in years – maybe decades – from the legendary Dr John – and a set that stands up strongly next to the messed-up Crescent
City vibe
of his 70s classics! Big thanks are due to Black Keys' guitarist Dan Auerbach – who produced and supervised the whole recording – and helped create the kind
of rootsy studio proceedings that make for just the right vibe to help the Doctor hit all his best classic modes! Leon Michels brings in some great keyboards, too – and an undercurrent
of El Michels funk – and Dr John's vocals really sparkle in the setting – stepping out with all the weird raspy elements we love so much. Titles include "Ice Age", "Getaway", "Kingdom
Of Izzness", "You Lie", "Eleggua", "My Children My
Angels", "Locked Down", and "Big Shot".
