Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - New Orleans
A taste of New Orleans sound. The sound is still there, while the city may never be the same.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dr. John is Ill
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!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - UG
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".


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Doctor is In
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.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The City That Care Forgot
Dr. John has used great music to remind us that the job is still a long way from finished in New Orleans.
