Details: Product Description Who better than Dr. John to give a history of New Orleans music? from 1992. Amazon.ca Goin' Back traces a century of Crescent City musical history, starting in the mid-19th century with Louis Moreau Gottschalk, a classical composer influenced by the African chants and slave dances he witnessed in New Orleans' Congo Square. With support from some of the city's most prominent musical pioneers (including Danny Barker, Pete Fountain, and the Neville Brothers), Dr John breathes new life into the work of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, James Booker, Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, and Huey Piano Smith. From early jazz to junkie blues, Goin' Back covers it all, ranging from well-trod standards ("Basin Street Blues", "Careless Love") to otherwise forgotten jewels ("I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say", "How Come My Dog Don't Bark"). What's most remarkable is how utterly alive and timeless it sounds. -- Keith Moerer
