Free Music Notes for N'Awlinz: Dis Dat or d'Udda
Free Music Review: Super Find
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm new to Dr. John, so I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this. I've listened to it several times now, and while I enjoyed the first listen, it keeps getting better. It's like a rich musical gumbo (sorry about that) with lots of texture. Yeah - that's the ticket - texture. It's not a particularly joyous album, but a rather somber and earthy one, with a quality of writing and musicianship that is rare these days. I plan to buy many more of his discs.
You would hope that music of this calibre was properly recorded and mastered, and fortunately N'Awlinz was. This disc has audiophile quality sound that would be difficult to improve upon. The soundstage is deep and wide, the tonal balance is perfect, and it wasn't mastered too loud, allowing full dynamics. They did push the volume to the point just before compression occurs, and I wish they'd given it a little headroom, but it works. Due to the fullness of the sound and lack of grain, I suspect it was mastered using DSD.
N'Awlinz: Dis Dat or d'Udda Poster
Mac Rebennack took his stage name from the voodoo healer Dr. John and became a '70s pop star by recasting New Orleans's myth and music in his own psychedelic image. At 63, he's again revamped the Crescent City sound, minus the acid-trip trappings, for his best album in decades. With its string, horn, and Afro-Latin percussion sections and its slate of re-imagined classics, N'Awlinz is a masterful summation of Dr. John's abilities as a leader and performer. Guests such as Willie Nelson, B.B. King, and Mavis Staples, plus a roster of Louisiana luminaries including Randy Newman, Nicholas Payton, Snooks Eaglin, Gatemouth Brown, Dave Bartholomew, and Earl Palmer, all make winning contributions. In Dr. John's grasp, "When the Saints Come Marching In" becomes a stately waltz that twines his elegant piano and gravel throat with Staples's rich, red-clay gospel singing. And he honors the spirit of standards like "Stackalee" and "St. James Infirmary" while spinning his own lyrics and melodies into them. "Time Marches On" (with King, Nelson, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band), "Life is a One Way Ticket," and several spirituals contemplate mortality, but never interrupt the graceful, upbeat flow of this late-career opus. --Ted DrozdowskiFeaturing special guests Mavis Staples, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Cyril Neville, Randy Newman, Willie Nelson, B.B. King and others.
