Dr.John

I have have the locked down vinyl since its release about a year ago. I absolutely love this record in every way ,production,feel,tone you name it. It was my favorite of 2012 by far.

After realizing it was Dan Auerbach from black keys who produced I was curious about his band the black keys. I love blues all kinds but I cannot seem to get behind the keys at all.

My love for Locked Down remains strong however. Go out and buy it now!!!

I saw Dr. John a couple of weeks ago at Tulane Graduation. He Played several songs with Allen Toussaint. The cool thing is his Voice still sounds amazing. Girlfriend and I were shocked at his age his voice was sounded like it did years ago.

I agree.
I can't get with Black keys either.
But the Dr. John Production is great.
But how much production does the Doctor need?

The Dr is playing a free show next week at the jazz festival in Rochester. Can't wait to see him again after many years and hear him perform some new music.

"Narlins" is the way New Orleans is pronounced by the inhabitants, and Dr. John is one of it's most celebrated inhabitants; he symbolizes the unique music and culture of that city.

One hundred and fifty years ago, Dr. John was a powerful hoodoo practitioner in New Orleans, according to our "Dr. John". All of this is on the cover of "Creole Moon", although "Gris Gris" goes more into the "Hoodoo" aspect of the New Orleans culture.

When we hear Dr. John, we hear "Narlins".

Enjoy the music.
