Our Take

The DR. JOHN Original Album Series brings together five classic albums from the legendary New Orleans musician, showcasing his unique blend of funk, blues, jazz, and voodoo magic. From the infectious grooves of "Gris-Gris" to the sparkling piano work on "The Sun, Moon & Herbs", this collection is a treasure trove of sonic delights.

Dr. John, the Night Tripper himself, weaves a tapestry of sounds that transport the listener to the swamps and street corners of his hometown. His gravelly voice and masterful piano playing are on full display, drawing you in with each note. Tracks like "I Walk On Gilded Splinters" and "Right Place, Wrong Time" are instant classics that showcase his talent and charisma.

The production on these albums is top-notch, with each instrument given room to breathe and shine. The horns blare, the drums drive, and the guitars wail, creating a rich and textured sound that is a joy to listen to. Dr. John's band is tight and funky, providing the perfect backdrop for his soulful vocals.

Overall, the DR. JOHN Original Album Series is a must-have for any fan of New Orleans music or just good music in general. It's a testament to Dr. John's talent and vision, and a reminder of why he is considered one of the greatest musicians of his generation. So put on your dancing shoes, grab a drink, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
