Katrina by Dr. John (2008-08-29)

Dr. John's work is always interesting, meaningful and down right great, but this a tribute to the City and People of New Orleans that will give you a chill and make you shake your head "yes" in agreement with his words,and tunes. Thank you, sir.

recovery through music (2008-08-13)

Dr John is the perfect representative of NO and its music. He conveys the problems that created the mess and the problems post Katrina. And he does it with great songs in his own style!

Stick it to the Man (2008-08-11)

Dr. J has the 411; New Orleans was f'ed over by the man in Washington, DC. The jazz is cool and long on the hard facts. It hits you on so many levels, your sponge Bobbin it. Politically Correct don't live here. See it through the eyes of the people on the street as Dr. J leads you down the streets in the City That Care Forgot.

Putting his voice where his heart is (2008-07-23)

Dr. John is to New Orleans is what Willie Nelson is to Austin, TX and heartland causes. Anytime someone's in need these two guys are putting themselves out there singing their hearts out for the causes they believe in. Of course, Willie's on this CD, so's Slowhand, Ani DiFranco, and Terence Simien. "City that Care Forgot" isn't just a statement, though. You can tell when you're listening to this that the folks performing had a good time putting heart and soul into these songs. I usually have a favorite song or two. Hands down, for me, it's "You Might Be Surprised." The lyrics really spoke to me:"Life is a near death experienceHell is right here on this great big EarthIt could be a little taste of heavenIf we only knew our worthAll we got to do is want it bad enoughTo push ourself throughWe always underestimate ourselvesWe do every day we can always do betterIn each and every wayIf we don't believe in ourselvesNobody's gonna do itIf we don't push ourselvesWe'll never make it through it..."If you can listen to "Dream Warrior" without tears in your eyes, you've got a 'heart of iron' as Homer says. Dr. John tells it like it is regarding the 'second battle for New Orleans.' It's the harshest hurricane protest song I've heard, be prepared. "Black Gold" is a double entendre about oil and military recruitment and it's another political statement that people of conscience should be listening to. "Promises, Promises" features Willie Nelson singing with the good Doctor. I am surprised at how good these two very distinctive voices sound together. "Stripped Away" features Clapton backing. This song's more rocked out than most, gorgeous sound for a painful message. "The City That Care Forgot" is one of the best collaborative efforts I have heard in a long time. The message is strong, the playing is gorgeous. It also supports a worthy cause. Rebecca Kyle, July 2008
