On “City That Care Forgot”, Dr. John delivers an elegantly elegiac homage to his drowned hometown that’s at once an incredible collection of songs – possibly his best work of the past two decades – and a bold statement and cultural event. Musically anchored with that legendary gravely drawl and a buoyant riot of swamp-voodoo piano grooves (and aid from a few friends like Eric Clapton & Willie Nelson) the album’s 13 tracks also provide a lyrical reminder that the rawness and divisions exposed by Hurricane Katrina are as fresh as ever. Infused with elements of barrelhouse funk and freewheeling proto-rock, at times Dr. John raises as much hell as he does questions. But his hopeful, if harrowing, songwriting never loses the notion that once we start to address our problems we can heal as a nation. The songs, at a time when the word “change” seems to be everybody’s buzzword, are at once a musical return to roots, yet suffused with an unusual urgency. On the loping, blues-inflected “Time For A Change”, Dr. John conjures what could be considered “What’s Going On” for the YouTube generation, as he manages to provide a rollicking good time while holding forth on such on issues as the war in Iraq and the current administration. In contrast, the stirring title track is simple – and life-affirming – requiem for the victims of Katrina – leading off an album that stands as a sad, searing, sacrilegious, and ultimately auspicious statement that promises to stand as one of the most compelling and enduring musical statements of this complex era. “I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do this record,” says Mac, “It ain’t like musicians know anything more than anybody else. I’m just trying to be a voice for people that ain’t got none right now.” Pressing duties were handled by Pallas in Germany Artist Dr John & The Lower 911 Genre Rock And Pop Label Diverse Records Buying Options 180g 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 180g , 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Side 1 1 Keep On Going 2 Time For A Change (featuring Eric Clapton) 3 Promises, Promises (featuring Willie Nelson) You Might Be Surprised Side 2 1 Dream Warrior 2 Black Gold 3 We Gettin’ There (featuring Terence Blanchard) Side 3 1 Stripped Away (featuring Eric Clapton) 2 Say Whut? 3 My People Need A Second Line (featuring James “12” Andrews and Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews) Side 4 1 Land Grab (featuring Terence Blanchard) 2 City That Care Forgot (featuring Eric Clapton and Ani DiFranco) 3 Save Our Wetlands (featuring Terrance Simien) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Cibo Matto Viva!
