Synopsis

Album Description
Dr. John?s distinctive brand of "voodoo" blues, combining his inventive piano playing, gravely voice and the pure essence of New Orleans, has made him both a much-admired and much-loved character in a career that stretches over 40 years. Dr. John has graced the Montreux stage on six occasions. He decided that this concert from 1995 was the one he most wanted to see released in our Live At Montreux series. It is an exceptional performance and includes classic tracks such as Iko Iko and Right Place, Wrong Time. The Eagle Eye Media simultaneous DVD release includes bonus tracks (EE 39099-9).
 

CD Reviews

The Dr., Brings New Orleans To Montreux.
Anthony Accordino | Massapequa Park, New York United States | 06/26/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"No mater how you slice it, Dr. John was made to perform live. His brand of New Orleans jazz/Funk is both ear catching and spellbinding. The good Dr. performs here with an outstanding 7 piece band and a kick-butt horn section led by Ronnie Cuber. The highlights here include "Iko,Iko", "Big Bass Drum" and of course his signature song "Right Place, Wrong Time". Call it Mardi-gras in Switzerland if you will, but the crowd is loving every minute of this show as well as the band. I have always considered Dr. John a great live performer as seen in his previous live releases. He gives the audience what they came for, and that is some good old fashion Nu-Orlins gumbo funk/jazz that is designed to lift your spirits and get your fanny out of the chair. Check out the companion DVD to this release as well. This guy is my definition of "COOL"!"
