Description

For those of us who long for the days when Dr. John smeared himself with face paint, wore impossibly large headdresses, and sang about grisgris, gumbo yaya, and croker courtbullion, Anutha Zone is indeed a heartening development. In the late 60s Dr. John was a visionary musical alchemist, working with psychedelic imagery and funky rhythms to nab the rock crowd, then plying them with spooky swampland mythology and raw Southern RampB.On Anutha Zone, Dr. John digs deep into that murky musical well once again, with stunning results. John Gris, Party Hellfire, and Soulful Warrior brilliantly fuse slowburn grooves, sly musicianship, and Dr. Johns elegantly gruff vocals, conjuring images of dark revelry down French Quarter back alleyways. This was the comeback of 1998, hands down.Available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl. The Music On Vinyl reissue also contains an insert with a beautiful picture of the mystic man and credits information.
