Audio Mixer: Jason Pierce. Photographer: Andy Earl. Arranger: Jason Pierce. Throughout the '90s, Dr. John played on dozens of sessions, taking a particular interest in younger English bands including Supergrass and Spiritualized. A number of musicians from this scene repay the favor on this mix of voodoo mysticism and space rock. This time out, Dr. John reintroduces his alter ego, "The Night Tripper." The result is songs such as "Ki Ya Gris Gris," "John Gris" and "I Like Ki Yoka," where the New Orleans native wraps his raspy drawl and a languid tempo around a patois of phrases and musical movements that entice and mesmerize. Members of Spiritualized help out with the metaphysical musings of "Hello God," while Jools Holland and Paul Weller add to a particularly matter-of-fact reading of John Martyn's "I Don't Wanna Know." Never quite cutting loose, Mac Rebennack does shake a funky leg on the title track and "Why Come." The good Doctor wraps it all up with "Sweet Home New Orleans," an ode to his hometown that starts out with a woozy tempo and builds up to include plenty of horns and female background singers.
