    i agree, but you cant go wrong with "right place, wrong time," which was such a big hit in '73 that it was played on both black and white stations

    Dude, go pick that shit up. It's not a hard to find album or expensive. It's good music. Listen to it and decide for yourself.

    cheers.

    This contains his one top 40 hit. Not raer. All his stuff is worth at least one listen.

    I was about to trade in his last CD, but I found myself listening to it, especially the tracks with Eddoe Bo and Cyril Neville, and I kept it.

    I didn't mind Duke Elegant[/b], but it has a break on it so you can't shy away from a good beat.

    Great Great Great LP
    Meters back him up, Toussaint produced it(I think-someone correct me if I'm wrong)
    and has some of his finest tunes ever.

    His best FUNKY LP. Not his best overall, but I would say 2nd best after Gris Gris. His other weird LPs(like Babylon and Remedies), though preferred by people like me, can get a little hippie-weird-for-weird-drug-LP for a lot of folks. I suggest checking all his Atlantic LPs, especially Desatively Bonaroo

    or buy the Blossom tv series DVD and watch the theme song repeatedly

    and if you get sick of it, u can watch joey lawrence do his impression of black rob and be like "whoa"

    i can, if there's nothing good happening on top of it

    as far as recent dr. john, he had a pretty good one on the revived blue thumb label about ten years ago - i forget the title, but it included "there must be a better world somewhere"

    man it's all about JET SET yo!!

  • bonzaisk8bonzaisk8 946 Posts
    But, what do we all really* know about Dr. John?

    Nah seriously, thanks for the info y'all.

    Just happen to see this piece for 12 bones, so wanted to get some insight on its dopeness before i dropped the loot. I'm sold.

    holluer!

    now WHAT WAS THE DEAL with that one? wasn't it on some dance-music label like streetwise, back in the 80's? no one ever talks about this. i dont even think dr. john mentioned this in his autobio. is he trying to do rap or house music or something?

    Wasn't "Right Place" a top 10 hit? My dad gave me mine so I assume so. Should be able to find it for a buck, no?

    Desatively Bonaroo

    I would really like to own the instrumental to "Stealing" off this record. Take away the vox it sounds like it could be an outtake from LookaPyPy. I just can't do John's voice.
  • DubiousDubious 1,865 Posts
    jet set is an electro boogie cut.. with dr john doin his spoken wordy pseudo rappy stlye over it.

    dope cut.

    And the Meters are the backing band which I think makes it worth it. They have some cool keyboard sounds on that album, dunno what they are. Anybody?

    Good LP and has more than one track to listen to. Allen Toussaint production, and has been mentioned, the Meters are the backing band. Check a review.

    "Such a night" gets me all fuzzy inside
