About the album:
Dr. John's Gumbo bridged the gap between post-hippie rock and early rock & roll, blues, and R&B, offering a selection of classic New Orleans R&B, including "Tipitina" and "Junko Partner," updated with a gritty, funky beat. There aren't as many psychedelic flourishes as there were on his first two albums, but the ones that are present enhance his sweeping vision of American roots music. And that sly fusion of styles makes Dr. John's Gumbo one of Dr. John's finest albums. (allmusic.com)
Dr. John's Gumbo was ranked number 402 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
We will be performing the record in it's entirety at 10pm.
The Funky Fritters at 8pm
I'm excited to announce "Bill Malchow and the Go Cup All Stars" will be performing Dr John's classic album "Dr John's Gumbo" in honor of Fat Tuesday and Dr John. It will be at Sullivan Hall on Tuesday February 24, 2009. Please stay tuned for lineup and more details...
I'll be down in New Orleans a bit the end of Nov/Dec. I'm excited to be backing up Shannon McNally and the Lower 911 (Dr John's band).
Alex McMurray, Simon Lott, Tommy Sciple and I will be hitting the D.B.A. on Nov 30.
New Orleans is warmer then NYC right now. That is good.
It's been a good week. I had a nice couple of gigs with Shannon McNally last weekend. We did a bunch of Bobby Charles tunes and she really impressed me... especially being 7 months pregnant!
Today I'll be driving to JFK to pick up Earl Poole Ball (Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, Buck Owens, Byrds) for an upstate gig with the Jack Grace Band. Earl was Johnny Cash's piano player for 20 years so I expect to hear some stories. Maybe some I can share...
This Friday Bill Malchow and the Go Cup All Stars will be on the main stage at B.B. Kings opening for the Funky Meters. Maybe I can steal some licks from Art Neville. Hope to see you there.
