Dr.JOHN - Zu Zu Man 1993


Dr.JOHN - Zu Zu Man 1993
Label: Charly

Blues

Not to be confused with like-titled albums on Onyx and Charly. Presumably a compilation (though many of the songs seem rather rare for a greatest-hits type endeavor), this album contains a good number of Dr. John's better-known songs ("Tipitina," "Loser for You Baby," "Zu Zu Man"). Notable exclusions are certainly made, assuming that this is an attempt at a greatest-hits album. The album sticks more or less to the New Orleans sound that he upholds, though it delves a small bit into more straight-ahead R&B and his own musical voodoo gumbo mixing ("Zu Zu Man," for example). There are almost certainly better albums available that encompass a greater portion of his body of work but, nonetheless, this album isn't bad, especially at the discount level.
