CD ReviewsHell Yes Dr. J! M Smith | Hartford, CT | 08/03/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album knocked me off my feet! How does the good Dr continue to make his explosive, heartfelt purposeful music sound so fresh? Who knows? Wo cares? Love Jinky Jinx and Manoovas. Totally turned me on to Derek Trucks. Amazing album all the way through." Mac Trucks!!!! W. David English | Somerville, Massachusetts | 08/05/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Of all the musicians who emerged in the sixties and who are now creeping towards their eighth decade, no one has done so with more grace than Mac Rebennack---Dr. John. But then, he always seemed to be an old soul, even when he was a young buck. Old not in the sense of infirm or worn-out, but old in the sense of having a world of experience and amassed skills. Health permitting, he will be able to continue to do what he has always done with no loss of dignity for decades longer, and I hope he does. His voice, as instantly recognizable as Satchmo's, has not changed one bit. People can imitate Armstrong---Tom Waits did so in "I Was I Was in New Orleans", and Ella Fitzgerald channelled Satch for a few bars, hilariously, on her "Ella is 40!" live album---but I've never heard anybody imitate Dr. John. If a cape buffalo could sing, this is what he would probably sound like---and this is a compliment. The fact that Dr. John is still with us and still performing and recording regularly is something to remember whenever gloom looms. And he is not coasting on past glories---"Tribal", his new album, stands among his best. One quibble: I assume Dr. John wrote or co-wrote these songs, but the liner notes contain no songwriting credits---or at least none that I could detect. Whoever created them, they are a tasty blend of Dr. John funk, soul, R&B, and Big Easy gumbo. The backup band, the 911, is tight but loose---a contradiction, but one who hears this CD will understand. This album sounds very organic; it was probably cut live in the studio. Derek Trucks guest stars on one cut. No one song stands out as an instant classic, but all fourteen cuts are terrific. Offhand, I cannot think of any recording artist not yet honored with a career-spanning box set who is more deserving of one than Dr, John. It's time somebody righted this wrong. I will suggest a title, and I think it's a pretty good one: DOC IN A BOX." The Dr is WAY IN Fischer | USA | 08/03/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Voice of NOLA strikes again - and with the help of Derek trucks ( for my money the top new guitar-slinger out there ) = very cool album."
