Dr. John – Dr. John's Gumbo

The most incredible sounding record. Wasn't recorded in some pin quiet audiophile fashion but that only makes KG and CK's work so much more immersive and transportive. You're there.

Wow just wow. This pressing jumps out of the speakers. Such a fun listen! Highly recommended!

Best Dr John I’ve heard. Quintessential New Orleans sound. A masterpiece that is pressed by a master. Super clean and dynamic. Can’t beat it.

Not even close between this and any other release I've heard including my original, although I admit my original is noisy. This is just so, so good, perfect volume and super "clear". If you like this album, buy this now because it might be a while until the next reissue, and you don't want to deal with LOSER resellers trying to rip everyone off. It's in stock at Acoustic Sounds for a decent price. My only complaint, and it's minor is that my original has an insert where Dr. John himself writes a good paragraph or two about the origins of each song, and that is not reproduced here.

This pressing is phenomenal! Kevin Gray did an amazing job because this is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a while. The dynamics are killer and you really feel each instrument (and there’s plenty!). Absolutely perfect job by Analogue Productions, because this record has never sounded this good.

For all those interested in Dr. John, this is the album to start with—just good, funky music from deep down in a bayou with that fantastic New Orleans piano flavor that is the essence of the Good Doctor. So many classic standards here given the Dr. John treatment—many of which would go on to become standards themselves. One of the most fun records you can spin—a must-own for any fan of that New Orleans sound.

Adding to the chorus, this sounds fantastic and is really revealing in comparison to even an original pressing. Kevin Gray and Analogue Productions do not disappoint.

This press sounds great. This is also a great Dr. John album to get your feet wet if you’re not too familiar with his body of work. Highly recommended!

Amazing sounding pressing! Kevin Gray for the win. If you don’t have any Dr John this is a great place to start.

Made in Canada Alligator Records version of mine has notes about each song written on back of cover. No gatefold no special insert. Good music in any case.

Christ, I've tried so hard to get into this...Highly touted as a great "party" or "feel good" album, this does absolutely nothing for me. If anything I find it annoying. Loved his earlier records but this is where I jumped ship!
