Music reviews of Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack: The Legendary Sessions, Vol. 1
Music Review: Fantastic solo piano recording
Rating: 4 Stars
This has a place on my "short list"
of favorite recordings in any genre.
If you like the audio files, you'll
like the CD. Its a reissue with extra
tracks. Unfortunately they placed the
additional tracks in the middle of the CD.
We get Dr. John singing a Christmas carol etc.
in the middle of a CD of beautiful piano solos.
Very distracting!
I don't understand why they would do that.
Description of Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack: The Legendary Sessions, Vol. 1
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 peppy take on "Silent Night," this album is all instrumental--a joy if you're a fan of solo piano, though perhaps a bit wearing if you're not. (The 2002 reissue adds four previously unreleased bonus tracks.) --Keith MoererGeneral CDs
