Our Take

Dr. John, the legendary purveyor of voodoo-infused New Orleans funk, is the subject of a new compilation album cheekily titled "The Best Of." Packed with classics like "Right Place, Wrong Time" and "Such a Night," this collection is a veritable jukebox of smoky piano riffs and gravelly vocals.

Bouncing between jazz, R&B, and blues, Dr. John's music is as eclectic as his wardrobe (seriously, have you seen those hats?). His signature growl is a force to be reckoned with, commanding attention with every soulful phrase. You can practically smell the gumbo simmering in the background as you listen to these timeless tracks.

But don't let the groovy vibes fool you - Dr. John is a serious artist with technical prowess to spare. His intricate piano playing is a masterclass in itself, effortlessly blending boogie-woogie rhythms with avant-garde flourishes. Each song is a journey through the swamps of Louisiana, complete with alligator sightings and mysterious hoodoo rituals.

So whether you're a seasoned Dr. John fan or a newcomer to the funky world of the Night Tripper, "The Best Of" is a must-have addition to your music collection. So sit back, pour yourself a Sazerac, and let the good Doctor prescribe you a healthy dose of rhythm and blues. You won't be disappointed.
