Dr John Plays Mac Rebbenack
Editorial Reviews

By the early '80s Dr. John was mostly in demand as a session player and ad jingle writer, but he cut a pair of back-to-back solo piano albums that proved he was still capable of greatness. The first, Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack, ranges widely, from joyous tributes ("Memories of Professor Longhair," "Pinetop") and slow blues ("New Island Blues," "Saints") to graceful standards such as "Dance à la Negres" and "Wade in the Water." With the exception of a gentle version of "The Nearness of You" and a disconcertingly peppy take on "Silent Night," this album is all instrumental--a joy if you're a fan of solo piano, a bit wearing if you're not. --Keith Moerer --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
