Goin' Back to New Orleans (Dr. John, 1992)

The opening track is so awesome and unusual it's a bit of a letdown to find the rest of the album's more standard blues, but there's a lot of great stuff on there.  Toes the line between playful and disturbing; about half the songs are about cheating spouses and about half of those end in at least the threat of murdering the offensive parties.

Choice cuts: Litenie des Saints, How Come My Dog Don't Bark (When You Come Around), Cabbage Head
