Dr. John – Hollywood Be Thy Name

79,99

In 1975, Dr. John took his well-honed New Orleans musical revue on the road and made a stop in Hollywood, with the recorded highlights released as Hollywood Be Thy Name. This is an enjoyable combination of live New Orleans soul and barrelhouse piano mixed with studio tracks, including a reworking of his psychedelic anthem “Babylon.” The live cover versions range from a soulful “Yesterday,” a medley of “It’s All Right With Me,” “Blue Skies,” and “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” plus the Roy Montrell New Orleans jump classic “Mellow Saxophone” retitled here as “I Wanna Rock.” The only wrong turn taken is on the title track, which dips into a flashy Las Vegas routine complete with cheesy disco beat, that, needless to say, didn’t suit Dr. John.
