Dr.JOHN - Anutha Zone 1998


Dr.JOHN - Anutha Zone 1998
LC0299

Blues

DR JOHN jets in to london to record an album along with contributions from weller , spiritualized , members of supergrass,portishead,beta band etc along with his own new american musicians.

Its clearly a publicity stunt to try and shift a few more albums and in reality the idea is more entertaining than much of the music , but ironically the best stuff here is the stuff he does with the brits in the 1st half of the album- in particular "hello god" the funky "party hellfire" and the cover of john martyns "i dont wanna know"

The doctors in good voice throughout and makes little nods to his past in "i like ki yoka" and "ki ya gris gris" which are nice , but a lot of the 2nd half is unmemorable until we get to the nicely arranged "sweet home new orleans "
