This compilation covers Dr. John's recent albums, which saw him feted by some of Britpop's finest, who appear on here. Although the mix of a New Orleans voodoo priest and hip young guitar bands may seem incongruous, it works; various members of Supergrass and Ocean Colour Scene acquit themselves admirably as a backing band, but those directly under the good Doctor's spell- Paul Weller, The Beta Band- add the necessary touch of grit and sympathy to elevate tracks like "Party Hellfire" to the level of his best work. Admittedly, nothing touches his highest peak of the unbeatable 'Gris-Gris', but the clean tight funk here is nothing to turn your nose up at. Throw in a charming duet with B.B. King on the ribald "Hen Layin' Rooster", and some tasty bonus tracks, and you have a fine compilation deserving of a wide audience. --Thom Allott
