Our Take

Ah, the good Doctor is back with another dose of his unique blend of voodoo funk and bayou blues. On "Things Happen That Way," Dr. John takes us on a journey through the swamps of Louisiana, weaving tales of love, loss, and, of course, a little bit of magic.

The album kicks off with the infectious groove of "Big Shot," a funky number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Dr. John's gravelly voice is as mesmerizing as ever, drawing you in with each note. "City Lights" is a soulful ballad that showcases his skills as a storyteller, painting a vivid picture of late nights in the city.

Throughout the album, Dr. John effortlessly blends elements of jazz, blues, and rock to create a sound that is uniquely his own. Tracks like "Take It Easy Greasy" and "Something You Got" are pure joy to listen to, with their infectious rhythms and sly lyrics.

But it's on the hauntingly beautiful "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" that Dr. John truly shines. The song builds to a fever pitch, with swirling organ and intricate guitar work creating a sense of otherworldly dread.

Overall, "Things Happen That Way" is a testament to Dr. John's enduring talent and charisma. It's a wild and hypnotic ride that will leave you spellbound from start to finish. So grab a glass of absinthe, light some candles, and let Dr. John take you on a journey to the dark side of the bayou.
