Rating: - The right stuff
This is an excellent compilation of Dr John, that makes a perfect introduction to the mans many talents. As producer, guitarist, pianist, writer, voodoo rock star and Jazz and Blues musician you are bound to find something you like here.

You want to hear the Piano playing that inspired Jools Holland? Listen to the 'Honey Dripper' from the marvellous solo Piano album 'Dr John plays Mac Rebennack'. His early 70's material (mainly produced by Allen Toussaint) is well represented by 'Right ... Read More

Rating: - worth the money
authough this is a good album with some real classics on it, i can't help but feel that several tracks on here are just shoved on to fill up space, when there's plenty of other works by Dr. John that could be in there place which are arguably much better. but having said that the good tracks on here are really outstanding, and this CD is a great demonstration of Dr. John's own unique style.

Rating: - A good buy
This album is a good introduction to the world of Dr John for anyone who is developing an interest, it'll draw you in and make you curious to hear more from this Blues master. Existing fans need not bother much however as they will probably have these tunes on other albums. If you are wondering if the music of Dr John is for you, drawn as I was by his gravelly tones and funky piano then I would recommend buying this album and using it as a tool to decide whether or not to take your interest further.
