2012 album from the New Orleans legend, produced by Black Keys guitarist and uber-fan Dan Auerbach. Locked Down distills half a century of this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's picaresque musical history, melding his shamanistic stage persona with the authority of a consummate studio musician, the cosmic conjurer with the street-savvy poet. The 10 new songs on Locked Down, written by Dr. John with Auerbach and a handpicked crew of backing musicians, combine incantatory chants ('Ellegua') and often politically charged raps ('Revolution') with candid and soulful reflections ('My Children, My Angels'), swaggering R&B ('Big Shot'), and a healthy dose of hypnotic, simmering funk ('The King Of Izness'). As with much of what this multiple Grammy-award winning singer and composer has recorded over the last five decades, the Big Easy is the musical and spiritual jumping-off point, but these new tracks incorporate a world's worth of influences, from gospel and blues to psychedelic rock and Afro-beat.
