Catalog #:
ATCO 33234LP
Exact repro on yellow vinyl. "Dr. John's 1968 release for Atco. One part psychedelia, one part New Orleans R&B and one part something else (voodoo ritual might be the best phrase, but we're not sure that really covers it).
Gris Gris
' blend of rasping lead vocals (from Dr. John himself), soulful backup harmonies, haunting melodies on flute, sax, and clarinet and eerie incantations create a vibe that's awfully hard to shake. It's not scary -- in fact, it's rather celebratory in that special New Orleans way -- but for full effect, you might want to turn off the lights."

Catalog #:
ATCO SD33316HLP
180 gram exact repro reissue, manufactured by Rhino, of Dr. John's bad trip album from 1970. "
Remedies
is not rock and roll, it is something nearly otherworldly, and almost beyond comprehension. While it includes such standout Dr. John tracks as 'Wash Mama Wash' and 'Loop Garoo,' it also includes 'Angola Anthem,' which is murky, mysterious and downright evil-sounding. Much of this very long cut is lost without headphones, for the music floats about in a smoky fog while Dr. John and his backup singers chant, moan, and cry out. Progressive radio loved this stuff, and it still sounds great during those late-night flirtations with the dark side of the psyche.

Catalog #:
ATCO SD7043LP
Exact repro reissue, manufactured by Rhino. Originally released on ATCO in 1974. "On
Desitively Bonnaroo
, Dr. John has refined his art, advanced it moderately, and created another entertaining LP. His music now breaks into two clear styles: riffs (up-tempo vehicles on which he employs a variety of R&B rhythms) and songs (ballads and medium-paced tunes that allow him a greater emotional range. The riffs give him a chance to invoke his mastery of the idiomatic lyric, his folk-sense of humor, and his ominous and mysterious presence. When the tunes are too melodically repetitive, as on 'Quitters Never Win,' then even the excellence of Allen Toussaint's arrangement and production, as well as the playing of his New Orleans sessionmen, cannot sustain interest. But 'What Comes Around (Goes Around)' has an interesting chord progression, some of the Doctor's most pointed lyrics, great bass by George Porter, Jr., as well as its extraordinary rhythm track. '(Everybody Wanna Get Rich) Rite Away' works because it's funny, and 'Desitively Bonnaroo' because of its intensity -- it sounds like a continuation of 'Right Place, Wrong Time.'"" --

Catalog #:
ATCO 80438
As with his classic debut,
Gris Gris
, the 2nd Dr. John album is not available on CD in the US, but here is a mid-line German pressing. Originally released by Atlantic/Atco in 1969, this is a primitively crafted blend of tranced-out low-key psychedelic rock, rippling jazz-like ambiance and Southern-core character. The echo-max space-jazz breakdown in the "Twighlight Zone" track is really especially exquisite. A fine overall advancement on the tribal psychosis of
