Dr.

John has recorded many great albums, but it's difficult to argue with such a perfect distillation of his catchy, grooving, slapdash pop work as this Rhino set. Coming out of the R& studio subculture of !ew "rleans, the former #ac Rebennack possessed songwriting smarts and reams of recording e$pertise, each of which had reached their peak by the early '%&s. 'ocused s(uarely on that prime era, )*%& through )*%+, the collection begins with his only ,op ,en hit, )*%-'s irrepressibly fatalistic .Right /lace, 0rong ,ime.. ,wo others come from his best album 1)*%-'s 2n the Right /lace3, the 4aunty .5uch a !ight. and .6ualified.. )*%7's Dr. John's 8umbo also rates three tracks9 the !ew "rleans classics .2ko 2ko. and .,ipitina,. plus .Junko /artner.. ,he compilers were also wise to choose three songs from 8ris:8ris, his un4ustly neglected psychedelic debut, including .#ama Rou$. and .2 0alk on 8uilded 5plinters. 1but unfortunately, not the glorious .8ris:8ris 8umbo ;a ;a.3. < version of Jimmy =iggins' 4ump:blues classic .>oneydripper,. from )*?)'s Dr. John /lays #ac Rebennack, spotlights his sparkling boogie:woogie piano, and the set closes with a pair of standards from his latter:day 0arner ros. years 1one of which is the unofficial #ardi 8ras theme .8oin' ack to !ew "rleans.3. 0hether it's for a first listen or the perfect road:trip disc, The Very Best of Dr. John has all of the !ew "rleans master's best recordings in one spot.
