This release includes a bonus DVD featuring interview footage. Solo performer: Dr. John (vocals, piano). Recorded live at The Lone Star Roadhouse, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Joel Dorn. New Orleans music icon Dr. John has stated that he doesn't like to perform solo, but one would never know it from listening to ALL BY HISSELF, recorded live in New York City in December 1986. With his strongly rhythmic approach to the piano and his cheery rasp of a voice, a band isn't missed here, especially with this album's vibrant, full-bodied recording quality. The good Doctor plays in a luxuriant, rollicking style throughout, taking from the New Orleans strains of blues, jazz, and rock & roll. He gets suave and wistful ("Such A Night," "Junco Partner"), vivacious and dynamic ("Stagger Lee," his big hit "Right Place, Wrong Time"), ironic and philosophical ("Sick and Tired," "Average Kind of Guy"), and downright giddy ("Swanee River Boogie," the "Rockin' Pneumonia" medley). It may seem unlikely that an album of just voice and piano could be considered great "party music" ? but when the performer is Dr. John, that's exactly what you get.
