Locked Down album Product Description
Locked Down album by Dr John was released May 15, 2012 on the Warner Bros. label. In his 72nd year on the planet, New Orleans' own Dr. John issues Locked Down, recorded in Nashville with the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach as producer, and a host of younger players. Locked Down CD music The pair cut tracks that evoke his earliest experiments on Atlantic Records--melding New Orleans R&B, swampy rock, and tripped-out grooves--without sounding retro. Japanese edition includes two bonus tracks, Part of Night and Angels Beckon. Packaged in a replica LP sleeve. Warner. Rolling Stone (p. 63) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Full of muscled, vintage R&B grooves, fevered soloing, psychedelic arrangements and oracular mumbo jumbo, it's the wildest record Rebennack has made in many years." Entertainment Weekly (p. 72) - "[T]here's no denying the vintage voodoo -- or the palpable disgust -- the Doctor summons with DAn Auerbach of the Black Keys... " -- Grade: A- Magnet (p. 54) - "The result is sharp and well-recorded.... The urgent grooves on 'Getaway,' with its psychedelic flourishes, will sound good on the radio..." Billboard (p. 36) - "'Eleggua' overlaps Curtis Mayfield, gris-gris funk and a sweet soul hook; and 'You Lie' offers a taste of what Dr. John would sound like if the Black Keys and Morphine joined forces to back him." Q (Magazine) (p. 96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "It still oozes that very specific, seamy Dr John funk throughout, from the brilliantly delirious title track through to his pitch black state-of-the nation address in 'Ice Age'..." Mojo (Publisher) (p. 93) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he night tripping grooves are tight, cosmically inclined, and brewed with a real soulfulness." Uncut (magazine) (p. 62) - "Throughout, Weissenfeldt's beats are savage. The horn accents are sharp and soulful."
