Dr. John: Locked Down
Aug 6th, 2012 by mallen
“Between 1968 and 1972, New Orleans-cum-L.A. session musician Mac Rebennack transformed himself into Dr. John, The Nite Tripper. He recorded a series of albums for Atlantic, most importantly Gris-Gris, but also Babylon, Remedies, and The Sun, Moon, & Herbs; they seamlessly wove a heady, swampy brew of voodoo ritual, funk, and R&B, psychedelic rock, and Creole roots music. No matter which era or what record you prefer, as an album, Locked Down stands with Rebennack’s best.”–All Music Guide
