(2-LP set) on his 2008 release "City That Care Forgot", Dr. John delivers an elegantly elegiac homage to his drowned hometown that's at once an incredible collection of songs - possibly his best work of the past two decades - and a bold statement and cultural event. Musically anchored with that legendary gravely drawl and a buoyant riot of swamp-voodoo piano grooves (and aid from a few friends like Eric Clapton) the album's 13 tracks also provide a lyrical reminder that the rawness and divisions exposed by Hurricane Katrina are as fresh as ever.
