Description
Originally issued in 1972, Dr. John’s Gumbo is the Night Tripper’s fifth full-length, serving as both a return to roots and a fitting tribute to his hometown of New Orleans. The sweeping 12-song set features excellent interpretations of New Orleans traditionals (“Iko Iko,” “Tipitina,” “Junko Partner,” “Stack-A-Lee”) and contemporary R&B written or played by the likes of Huey ‘Piano’ Smith (“Blow Wind Blow,” “Huey Smith Medley”), and Earl King & Earl Gaines (“Big Chief,” “Let The Good Times Roll,” “Those Lonely Lonely Nights”).
This ’70s classic album now receives the full Analogue Productions reissue treatment with a brand new super-silent 200-gram pressing courtesy of Quality Record Pressings, remastering from the original analogue tapes courtesy of Kevin Gray, and tip-on gatefold jacket packaging from Stoughton Printing.
