THE AMBASSADOR OF NEW ORLEANS: DR. JOHN

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2003

Verified Purchase

Dr John (aka Mac Renneback) has helped popularize the many exciting sounds of New Orleans over the years. This collection shows what makes Dr John a special performer. The gumbo of styles that make New Orleans music so joyful are expertly rendered by the good Doctor's peppery piano and bluesy vocals. From his funky classic hit Right Place, Wrong Time to the pyschedelic voodoo classic Walk on Gildeded Splinters, there is not a weak track here. One could quibble that some of the songs covered here are done better by their originators, but these are all fine performances. Use this as a springboard to discover more of the great more artists that have made New Orleans a musical capital such as The Meters, Professor Longhair, etc. Enjoy!

My first Dr. John

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

This was my first Dr John album, but definitely NOT the last. This is happy music, great songs. I remember hearing some of his music years ago and then saw him perform on The Band's "The Last Waltz" and wanted to hear more. This is a good sampling of his style and just love to put this on and soon you'll be dancing around, felling good.

The Best of The Night Tripper (2 CD set - Music Club)

This 2 CD set covers Dr. John's best work from 1968 to 1974 (none afterwards) which includes his biggest hits ("Right Time Wrong Time" and "Such a Night").

The review found earlier from Hoffman (along with the corrective review by Kicker) have all you need to know about this 2 CD set, so I humbly refer you to those reviews.

Those who only know Dr. John from his biggest singles may be put-off by the earlier songs as the style is certainly darker, but these 36 songs give a true picture of his talent.

This set should have had a strong booklet but, alas, this only has a small foldout booklet that is very inadequate (I would printout Hoffman's review and add it to the set).

While I enjoy the songs in this set, I am not as enthusiastic about it as the previous reviewers are. Most listeners will probably be best served by buying his "In The Right Place" album instead of this set. I give this set a solid Four Stars.

I've always loved anything to do with New Orleans. Dr John is the epitome of the city. This is a collection of some of my favorite cuts. I would recommend this to anyone who likes New Orleans music.

Brilliant compilation of the Doctor's '68-74 purple patch......

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is a quite brilliant 2CD compilation at an astounding price. This compilation covers the Doctor's years on Atlantic records ATCO subsidary from the swampy voodoo of 'Gris Gris' to the second-line New Orleans funk of 'Desitively Bonaroo'. The sound is pin-sharp sounding remastered to me which is a boon since some of the original CD issues of the albums covered by this compilation date from the early '90s and as a result sound a bit 'thin' in comparison. Regarding the music the most significant observation is that the 1st CD contains the ENTIRETY (!) of Dr. John's '68 masterpiece, 'Gris Gris' which suffice to say is some of the eeriest yet accessible music ever made. In addition the 1st CD contains other choice tracks from the Doctor's late 60's / early 70's "voodoo" phase taking songs from 'Babylon' and 'Sun, Moon & Herbs' (in the latter instance the whole album split over CD1 & CD2) though curiously nothing from 'Remedies' (and therefore sadly does not include one of my favorites the joyous "Mardi Gras Day"). The selections are pretty solid though obviously you can nit-pick about the exact picks, for example I'd like to have seen space for "Glowin'" which is my favorite track from 'Babylon' but space limitations and the fact that all of 'Gris Gris' and 'Sun, Moon & Herbs' are here here makes omissions such as these forgiveable. The second CD is pure gold containing the balance of 'Sun, Moon & Herbs' and an intelligent selection of tracks from Dr. John's New Orleans roots excavation "Gumbo" (6 tracks) and the Doctor's two New Orleans funk classics; "In The Right Place" (6 tracks) and "Desitively Bonaroo" (6 tracks). No complaints about any of the selections here and the latter half of CD2 contains some of the funkiest music ever laid down in the 1970's (he was being produced by Allen Toussaint and backed up by the Meters at the time which should be recommendation enough!). Therefore in conclusion 2+ hours of some of the best (and original) music of the late '60s / early '70s for under a fiver you'd be a fool to pass on this one.

Dr. Johns The Best - guter Überblick über die frühen Jahre

Reviewed in Germany on December 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

Solide Pressung 180gr... Die Platte gibt einen guten Überblick über die frühen Jahre von Dr. John.
Manche Tracks sind aber sehr low Fidelity, das liegt aber teilweise wirklich an den qualitativ schlechten
Abmischungen dieser Tage. Das Cover ist leider nicht sehr liebevoll erstellt worden. 4 stars
