City That Care Forgot: Dr John and the Lower 911

Compassion fatigue killer! I’m not a particularly charitable guy, and this could be dedicated to Geelong or Canterbury as far as I’m concerned. Guilt-ridden superstars have been guilty of hours and hours of terrible music that has failed to feed Bangaladesh, let alone The World, ever since the phrase ‘tax deductible’ entered the music industry dictionary right next to ‘free advertising’. So they care. Do we care? All I care to say about City That Care Forgot is that it’s a great Dr John album that isn’t particularly angry or brokenhearted but is mature and dignified and sometimes lithe and funky. Oh – it’s referring to New Orleans, not Geelong. New Orleans has been forgotten since 1938, evidently. Would that my reviews provoked similar amnesia.
