Our Take

In his latest album, Dr. John proves once again why he's known as the "Brightest Smile In Town" - because you can't help but grin from ear to ear while listening to this groovy masterpiece.

With his signature blend of New Orleans jazz, funk, and blues, Dr. John takes us on a musical journey that is as soulful as it is infectious. From the toe-tapping rhythms of "Right Place, Wrong Time" to the smooth, sultry melodies of "Such a Night," each track on this album is a gem in its own right.

But what truly sets Dr. John apart is his unique vocal style, which is equal parts gravelly and smooth. It's like listening to Ray Charles after a few glasses of whiskey - in the best possible way, of course.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in perfect harmony. The horn section is particularly impressive, adding a touch of brass that really elevates the overall sound.

Whether you're a long-time fan of Dr. John or a newcomer to his music, "The Brightest Smile In Town" is sure to put a smile on your face. So grab a drink, kick back, and let the good times roll with this fantastic album. Cheers to the one and only Dr. John!
