Dr.John

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.

"Gris Gris", is "Narlins" is the way live.

"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.

I checked out "Locked Down" yesterday, and must say I agree with Shakeydeal on this one. I can't really get into it. To me is sounds too much like The Black Keys. Even the vocals sound far removed from the distinct quality of Dr. John's voice, most likely due to the "distortion" Auerbach uses on his vocals, which he seemed to have done with this album as well. I'd take "Gris-Gris" and "Gumbo" any day over this one. The good news is the record was plated and pressed at Pallas in Germany so the vinyl quality should at least be good.
