The Best of the Night Tripper

Search: Jump Sturdy
by: Dr. John

Release Date March 24, 2008
This is a quite brilliant 2CD compilation at an astounding price. This compilation covers the Doctor's years on Atlantic records ATCO subsidary from the swampy voodoo of 'Gris Gris' to the third line New Orleans funk of 'Desitively Bonaroo'. The sound is pin-sharp sounding remastered to me which is a boon since some of the original CD issues of the albums covered by this compilation date from the early '90s and as a result sound a bit 'thin' in comparison. Regarding the music the most significant observation is that the 1st CD contains the ENTIRETY (!) of Dr. John's '68 masterpiece, 'Gris Gris' which suffice to say is some of the eeriest yet accessible music ever made. In addition the 1st CD contains other choice tracks from the Doctor's late ... Read More:

Odds and Sods: Mis-Takes and Out-Takes

Search: Jump Sturdy
by: Manfred Mann`s Earthband

Release Date September 12, 2005
The set is subtitled Mis-takes and Out-takes, a title chosen by Manfred himself as he can't understand why anyone would want to listen to material he has rejected. But make no mistake there is some marvellous material on here culled from the start of the 70's right through to a track not included on the recent '2006' album. If you can get round the non-fashionable tag associated with the EarthBand in the UK then you are in for a treat.

The set is basically split into 2 elements, some familiar tracks taken from across the years including favourites such as Blinded By The Light, Davy's On The Road Again and Joybringer for people wanting to listen to these again. The other side of the set is unreleased material which is seeing daylight ... Read More:

The Very Best of Dr. John

Search: Jump Sturdy
by: Dr. John

Release Date May 22, 1995
This is an excellent compilation of Dr John, that makes a perfect introduction to the mans many talents. As producer, guitarist, pianist, writer, voodoo rock star and Jazz and Blues musician you are bound to find something you like here.

You want to hear the Piano playing that inspired Jools Holland? Listen to the 'Honey Dripper' from the marvellous solo Piano album 'Dr John plays Mac Rebennack'. His early 70's material (mainly produced by Allen Toussaint) is well represented by 'Right Place Wrong Time', 'Such A Night', 'Iko Iko', 'Qualified', What Comes Around', 'Mos' Scocious' and of course a cover of Professor Longhair's 'Tipitina' (another chance to hear his Piano skills).

Some of the later material like 'Makin' Whoopee!' ... Read More:
