Dr. John
Dr. John - In The Right Place [CD]
The best-selling album of beloved New Orleans R&B artist Dr. John is that way for a reason. This 1973 album is blessed with performances from Leo Nocentelli, Art Neville, Ralph MacDonald, Mac Rebenneck and many more, and John is in top form with funky takes on the R&B genre throughout.
Start with the Meters, whose hard funk is so efficient there's not a wasted note or out-of-sync beat. Add producer Allen Toussaint's wonderful vocal and horn arrangements. Top them off with seven Rebennack originals plus four well-chosen covers, and you have an album that seemed to arrive out of nowhere at the time of its original 1973 release. It still sounds garden-fresh today, not just the monster hits, "Right Place, Wrong Time" and "Such a Night," but also the chain-gang funk of "Same Old Same Old," the verbal insults of "Qualified," even the second-line soul of "Shoo Fly Marches On." The closest thing to a weak link is "Peace Brother Peace," in which Rebennack anoints himself the Dr. Feelgood of love and happiness. But the Meters sound as if they believe every word he's singing, so who are we to argue?
