The new album from the great Dr. John, Tribal, is out tomorrow (August 3) on 429 Records, and reviewers are praising the follow-up to his Grammy-winning 2008 release, City That Care Forgot. The album features Derek Trucks on the track "Manoovas," as well as Allen Toussaint, Donald Harrison, and the late Bobby Charles (for whom the album is dedicated). Steeped in Dr. John's trademark melange of rock, funk, jazz, voodoo-inflected R&B and Creole flavor, Tribal is a statement that builds upon his already formidable musical legacy. Buy it on Amazon, iTunes, or in stores everywhere tomorrow.
