Dr. John burst into the popular consciousness in the late `60s with the release of GRIS GRIS: THE NIGHT TRIPPER, an album that saw the gifted multi-instrumentalist filtering his years of experience as a New Orleans session player through the cracked lens of the psychedelic era. Though that album`s dark blend of New Orleans rhythms and outr¿ production techniques made it a `60s counter-culture favorite, it drew from a much more venerable set of musical traditions. On 1992`s GOIN` BACK TO NEW ORLEANS, Dr. John takes his audience on a guided tour of New Orleans jazz and r&b, assaying memorable covers of beloved standards like W.C. Handy`s "Careless Love" and more obscure numbers like Jelly Roll Morton`s "I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say." Dr. John and his accompanists, including a plethora of New Orleans music luminaries, give these numbers compelling and authoritative readings. GOIN` TO NEW ORLEANS is a fascinating slice of New Orleans history that also sheds light on the origins of Dr. John`s inimitable aesthetic.
