The
greatest Dr. John Album that hardly anyone knows exists. This
classic also features Art Blakey and Dave "Fathead" Newman of Ray
Charles fame. It's Intense from beginning to the endand features classics like
for all we know sung by Blakey. It also features the best version of "when
the saints go marching in" I've ever heard. It's a shame Label Windham
hill went under and no one has re-released this classic as it's one of Mac
Rebenacks best. ~ hee haw, 5 Stars, Amazon.com.

A
real stand-out CD
---------------------------
I
have close to 1,000 CD's (alternative, blues, country, rock, zydeco, you name
it), and this is one of my favorites. It makes me smile just to see the jacket,
and I'm always swept away by the music. If you like music that's bluesy and fun
and jamming with instruments galore and that New Orleans flair, have a listen!
I've had this for many years and have never gotten tired of it. ~ OKshopper, 5
