Dr.John

Big Dr. John fan here too. I have not been able to make myself like "Locked Down". There, I said it.

Shakey

Sorry to hear it Shakeydeal...give it a few more spins.it is a creeper for sure. His early Gris Gris album is a Swampy voodoo masterpiece as well!

In his older age, 'the good' Dr John is not slowing down a bit.

Happy Listening!

Black Keys can grow on you...I wasn't immediately taken either. But now that you mention them, think I'll go play them tonight. Thanks for the Dr. John recommendation. I respect the dude but he's an example of something a bit of a stretch for me (and I can appreciate Tom Waits, which seems somehow relevant). Undoubtedly, more a comment on my tastes and not Dr. J's talents. Worth giving him another try - I'll see what I can find on You Tube. Actually met him years ago in a hotel lobby in Metarie (Kenner?), LA. I said something stupid like, "I like that what you do is not so mainstream." He came back with, "Well I hope this next one is more mainstream." (or words to that effect). Big dude wearing a funky long overcoat. Birds flying in and out of his beard (not really). Deep gravelly voice.

Try, 'Nawlinz: dis, dat or D'udda' By Dr John. One of my favorites.
