New York, NY (TOP40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) -- Rave reviews followed Dr. John's recent U.K. tour, and with the August 3 release of his brilliant new album 'Tribal' (429 Records), American critics are adding to the huzzahs. Backed by his band, The Lower 911,
Dr. John offers his funkiest, swampiest record since his iconic 1968 album, 'Gris Gris.' Check out some of these glowing reviews:
"Tribal is a revelation...a career-defining summation from one of America's most important musicians." All Music Guide
"At 69, Dr. John sounds much the same as in his wily youth, singing in a drawling croak and playing piano and organ with a principal stake in rhythm." NY Times
"He...devotes part of his time to looking at affairs of the heart as only the language-twisting Crescent City R-funk master can." LA Times
"A more polished version of his voodoo-stoked Night Tripper persona from the late '60s." USA Today
"On Tribal, Dr. John and the Lower 911 still make mystique-dripping grooves sound easy" Entertainment Weekly
"One of the New Orleans perpetual greats gets greasy and swampy, in a good way." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Downright irresistible" Philadelphia Inquirer
"Tribal is a wonderful addition to an already historic career." - Relix
