説明
(JPN / ATLANTIC / P-8458A / 1974 / MEDIA:EX- / JACKET:EX- 底抜け)
バックはTHE METERS！ダミ声で沁みまくる男泣きピアノ・ポップ「SING ALONG SONG」！ドクター・ジョン『恐るべきファンキー・ドクター』日本盤！
プロデュース＆アレンジはALLEN TOUSSAINT、演奏はTHE MTERSということで『IN THE RIGHT PLACE』に続く、ATCO期では最終章となるニューオーリンズ・ファンクの金字塔。ごった煮で”ガンボ”なサウンドのDR. JOHNもイイですが、アレンジの洗練具合では本作こそ至高と言いたくなる完成度。ファンキーな「QUITTERS NEVER WIN」やLL COOL J「ANOTHER DOLLAR」ネタな「STEALIN’」など、これぞニューオーリンズ・ファンクな楽曲も魅力たっぷりですが、この盤で最も推したいのは、センチメンタルなメロとDR. JOHNのダミ声が胸を打つ男泣きピアノ・ポップ「SING ALONG SONG」！ALLEN TOUSSAINT作曲の「GO TELL THE PEOPLE」、EARL KING作曲で後に本人もセルフ・カヴァーする「LET’S MAKE A BETTER WORLD」など、全12曲を収録。
