Iconic American musician Dr. John goes TRIBAL with the follow-up to his 2008 Grammy Award Winning release 'The City That Care Forgot' for 'Best Contemporary Blues Album.'
TRIBAL, featuring a track with Grammy winner Derek Trucks, is a unique spicy mix of New Orleans funk and blues with a spiritual and Native flavor with songs written by Dr John and a few of his friends - Allen Toussaint and the late Bobby Charles and joined by his ultra funky Lower 911 band of musicians. |

Fonky!!!!!!!!! |
|
Brilliant masterpiece of funk, from The Genius of N.O. Rizzum & Blues.!! Two thumbs way up! |
| |
|
Keep on keeping on! |
As Dr. John grows older, he gets better and better. This is back to what he knows best, the heartbeat of New Orleans and the bayou country. |

Brilliant! |

I own most of Dr. John's output of the last 20 years. This release stands head and shoulders above most of those releases. The lyrics are witty, the arrangements are smokin' and Dr. Johns voice has rarely sounded as gritty and earthy. Although his acoustic piano playing is not as prominent here as on some of his albums, the tight and soulful playing by his band and supporting cast more than compensates. And his organ playing is a standout. This is one album that grows on you the more you listen. It's complex, fascinating and simply makes you feel good to listen to. Favorite tracks: Tribal, Only in Amerika and A Place in the Sun. Pick up a copy today. Incredible music. |

Growly Grace Rising |
|
Wynton Marsalis, on a local radio show here in San Francisco, talked about how the blues are optimistic. I kind of understood then. Dr. John's City that Care Forgot presented the sense of betrayal and disgust with how New Orleans and the Gulf Region were ripped to pieces by natural and bureaucratic disasters. Tribal comes back with verve, savvy and tons of soul. There is humor and growly grace in every song. I don't want to write more because I am not that good at criticizing music. Care forgot, but Hope is sorting it all out. |

The good Doc hits a home run...again |
|
Honestly, everything that the Doc has recorded with the Lower 911 band over the last decade or so has been a winner. This is no exception, the Doc simply aging like a fine wine. Go see these guys live too, a really awesome band. |
