Dr. John - The Brightest Smile In Town - 2LP (LP)

Trying to define what it is that makes Dr. John special is much like trying to define the word "soul'--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.
