Details: Amazon.ca Rhythm reigns supreme on Creole Moon, which cuts a sinuous, syncopated groove through the various styles that have informed the good Doctor's career. The bayou funk of "Bruha Bembe" recalls the juju mysteries of Dr. John's "Night Tripper" phase, the opening "You Swore" adheres to the hip-shaking tradition of "Right Place, Wrong Time" and the jazzier sophistication of "Holdin ' Pattern", "Queen of Cold" and the title track show how far he has extended his musical terrain. Among the highlights are four songs co-written with the late Doc Pomus, including the soulful balladry of "Imitation of Love". Guitarist Sonny Landreth and fiddler Michael Doucet contribute Cajun seasoning to this musical gumbo, while saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman and trombonist Fred Wesley provide stellar brass support. --Don McLeese
