Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Ani Difranco and Terence Blanchard join Dr. John and the Lower 911 in this musical paean to Dr. John's beloved New Orleans. This powerful new recording features stirring and thought-provoking songs about the post-Katrina crises in the ravaged jewel of the American South, including "City That Care Forgot," "Time for a Change," "Promises, Promises," "We Gettin' There" and many more.

Summary: New Orleans
Comment: A taste of New Orleans sound. The sound is still there, while the city may never be the same.

Summary: Dr. John is Ill
Comment: I am a big fan of Dr. John. This is not one of his best and I can't even play it again to get familiar enough to enjoy it. Rarely do I dislike a CD so badly that I feel ripped off. This is as close as I want to get. Better luck next time!
Customer Rating:
Summary: UG
Comment: If you relish being depressed as hell, then you will love the lyrics to these dirges disguised as New Orleans romp. The melodies are as good as many of the good Dr's recent offering; however, the mood is soured by deep political rancor that permeates every stanza. This collection was tossed in the waste. To enjoy Dr. John, prior to his (hopefully temporary) sickness, stick with "Anutha Zone".
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Doctor is In
Comment: City That Care Forgot portrays very well how Dr. John feels about the aftermath of Katrina. Though this album is a little off the beaten path for Dr. John because his anger, it is still another excellent disc. I live in New Orleans and have seen Dr. John perform at Voodoo Festival in 2007. He echoes much of my city's sentiments and its music superbly.
