Dr. John‘s Gumbo is the fifth album by New Orleans singer and pianist Dr. John, a tribute to the music of his native city.
The album is a collection of covers of New Orleans classics, played by a major figure in the city’s music.
Dr John’s Gumbo was released in 1972 and is in many ways a tribute by Dr. John, aka the Night Tripper, to his hometown of New Orleans.
It features excellent interpretations of New Orleans traditionals (“Iko Iko”, “Tipitina”, “Junko Partner” and “Stack-O-Lee”) and contemporary R&B written or played by the likes of Huey Piano Smith (“Blow Wind Blow” and “Huey Smith Medley”) and Earl King (“Big Chief” and “Those Lonely Lonely Nights”).
Dr. John delivers a strong set of infectious songs drenched in good vibes and spiced with a pinch of voodoo.
His eccentric (stage) appearance adds unique color to his stature as master of the ivories and as an entertainer.
We expect this definitive deluxe 180-gram 45 RPM 2LP Analogue Productions (Atlantic Series) reissue of Dr. John’s Gumbo to be a cherished addition to the music collections of all fans of New Orleans classics.
