About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The most exploratory and psychedelic outing of Dr. John's career, a one-of-a-kind fusion of New Orleans Mardi Gras R&B and voodoo mysticism. Great rasping, bluesy vocals, soulful backup singers, and eerie melodies on flute, sax, and clarinet, as well as odd Middle Eastern-like chanting and mandolin runs. It's got the setting of a strange religious ritual, but the mood is far more joyous than solemn. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

January 19, 2004: If you want to know where "out there" is , this is it . A compelling mixture of funk , voodoo and chemicals . The fact that this is still available is scary . A 23 year old friend of mine , upon hearing Gris-Gris and Guilded spinters , told me that I "need Jesus" ! If you want a real dose of the 60's , buy this . There is nothing else quite like it .
