About this product

A lost solo piano record from the Night Tripper! Originally put to tape in '82 & '83 for the Clean Cuts tag, these tracks have remained unheard until now. Two numbers feature the doc's raspy growl while his solo piano navigates us through the rest of the train ride, past touches of blues, jazz, and foot stompin' boogie-woogie jive. It's the kind of magic that can only come from a dusty tape box. In 1981, Dr. John began recording his first of two solo piano albums. The InchnewInch performances featured on this are of the same quality as the music on Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack and The Brightest Smile In Town. His left hand creates a three-note rhythmic pattern that forms the foundation for the performance while his right soulfully plays the melody and then builds off of it in the tradition of the New Orleans piano blues masters. In other songs, it begins as a nostalgic and heartfelt ballad, picking up steam during the performance and switching moods several times before returning to where it began. While it is a real shame that he would never again record a full album of unaccompanied solos (Dr. John enjoyed leading a band too much), the of Frankie & Johnny gives one an additional opportunity to discover just how brilliant and spirited a pianist Mac Rebennack was during his colorful career. Album Tracks 1. Frankie & Johnny 2. Boll Weevil 3. Gentilly Boulevard 4. Rebennack Appliance 5. Hobo Blues 6. Conundrum 7. Some Train Goin' Some Way 8. Public Belt 9. The Pontchar Train 10. Conundrum (Alternate Take) 11. Boxcar Boogie (Alternate Take)

Trying to define what it is that makes Dr. John special is much like trying to define the word Inchsoul'-you can surround it. But nailing it down is a whole 'nother smoke. You can point to his sense of history, how he's never forgotten from whence he came, how his music always returns to his roots, even honoring the proud heritage of his native New Orleans. You can dissect his technique, marveling at the adroitness of the hands right and left; admiring the strong second line; respecting the tributes to his inspiration, Professor Longhair, apparent at every turn. And you can note how his peers consider his presence at a session as lending instant credibility to that particular project.InchUpon the of The Brightest Smile in Town, the reviews were effusive. Chicago critic Bill Knight's comparisons to Fats Waller and James P. Johnson were high compliments indeed. Downbeat's Jim Roberts called the playing 'graceful'; noting that the LP had a broader scope than it's predecessor. Jazz Times' Rhodes Spedale summarized 'He's never been in better form than here.'We kept in touch over the years. Mac was always generous and encouraging. Little did we know when The Brightest Smile in Town was released, what accolades lay ahead for Mac Rebennack and Dr. John. From the innovative guitar triumph 'Storm Warning' on the Rex tag in 1959, to his 2012 Grammy-winning Locked Down album, Mac's musical light shone brightly for seven decades. We were fortunate he chose to play for us. I'm sure he'd say that he was lucky too.Inch - Jack Heyrman, Clean Cuts Producer Album Tracks 1. Saddled the Cow 2. Boxcar Boogie 3. The Brightest Smile in Town 4. Waiting for a Train 5. Monkey Puzzle 6. Average Kind of Guy 7. Pretty Libby 8. Marie la Veau 9. Come Rain or Come Shine 10. Suite Home New Orleans 11.
