Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Goin' Back traces a century of Crescent City musical history, starting in the mid-19th century with Louis Moreau Gottschalk, a classical composer influenced by the African chants and slave dances he witnessed in New Orleans' Congo Square. With support from some of the city's most prominent musical pioneers (including Danny Barker, Pete Fountain, and the Neville Brothers), Dr John breathes new life into the work of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, James Booker, Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, and Huey Piano Smith. From early jazz to junkie blues, Goin' Back covers it all, ranging from well-trod standards ("Basin Street Blues", "Careless Love") to otherwise forgotten jewels ("I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say", "How Come My Dog Don't Bark"). What's most remarkable is how utterly alive and timeless it sounds. --Keith Moerer

Every facet of his talent is displayed, and his love and appreciation of New Orleans music shine through in this superb collection. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Do yourself a favour and absorb the history of New Orleans music through it's greatest living ammbasador.

If this cd dosen't make you dance, sing, move your neck in a rocking motion, feel good, tap your hands on your legs waiting at a red light, laugh, even cry some, if this cd dosen't do any of the above then.. as Louis Jordan said.. Jack you dead.

Mac Rebennack alias Dr John represents the spirit of New Orleans and I have seen him in concert both at Tipitianas in the Crescent City and in England.
