Sippiana Hericane - Dr. John

Advantages: Record holds well together, some stand out gems, beautiful, languourously, melancholy but not depressing
Disadvantages: if you are into Slipknot this is not for you

...Beth Orton seems to have that air of otherworldliness that could yet mark her out as a legend. In her first two albums she appears to have combined folk and electronica, using Andy Weatherall as a producer on some of her tracks and folk musicians such as Dr John. Well what can you say about a track such as " Do no harm" which feels like a languourous reel through the English countryside in summer; in my case it reminds me of the train journey between Brighton and Hastings; or the lyrics, an example from the first track " Your eyes were like cinammon". She explained this that she thought as someone being tasty like sweeties. The pieces are beautifully constructed with Dr John's piano adding that needed strand of delicacy. Beth being from Norfolk seems to have a country feel about her music, yet something like Central Reservation has... Read review

Advantages: Good Early stuff
Disadvantages: Doesn't cover everything

...The Meters were a fantastic band and were pioneers of the art form. They worked with Dr. John and Allen Toussaint on 'Right Place', a classic New Orleans record, and wrote one of the Funkiest albums of all time, 'Rejuvination'. This record covers some of their earlier work. 'Cissy Strut' is an absolute classic. Its a killer riff and is so simple. Everything in the band clicks. Song after song on this album is very simple but funky as hell. 'Sophisticated Cissy' and 'Ease Back' are also classics. They also do a couple of covers on the album, one being 'Sing a simple song' by sly and the family stone. There extremely tight and precise style suites the record and helps to make this an interesting compilation from one of the best New Orleans bands ever. This is a great place to start, and i highly recommend it.... Read review
