Dr. John, Things Happen That Way, 2022 on Rounder

Dr. John’s final studio LP, posthumously released by Rounder after he passed in 2019. Guest appearances by Aaron Neville (“End of the Line”), Willie Nelson (“Gimme That Old Time Religion”), and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real (“I Walk on Guilded Splinters”).

Great covers here: Willie Nelson’s “Funny How Time Slips Away,” Hank Williams Sr.’s “Ramblin’ Man” and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” and the Traveling Wilburys’ “End of the Line.” Sad to lose such a great talent.

My copy—direct from Rounder Records’ store—is the “coke bottle clear” vinyl pressing in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics sheet.

"Tell It Like It Is" is a song written by George Davis and Lee Diamond and originally recorded and released in 1966 by #AaronNeville. In 2010, the song was ranked No. 391 on #RollingStone magazine's list of #The500GreatestSongsOfAllTime.

Aaron Neville, Like It Is (reissued as Humdinger), 1967 on Minit

Although this was released in 1967 on Minit (and Liberty in the UK) as Like It Is, my copy is a 1986 reissue titled as Humdinger, on Stateside (a UK label designed to reissue things from smaller American labels).

As John Broven’s sleeve notes (from 1986) put it:

This album harks back to Aaron’s first recordings for the famed Minit label of New Orleans, between 1960 and 1962. Already his burgeoning talent as an R&B torch balladeer has started to burst through.

The reissue adds two tracks: “Humdinger” and “Show Me The Way.” Allen Toussaint on piano, joining Alvin Tyler (baritone sax), Chuck Badie (bass), Melvin Lastie (cornet), John Bourdreaux (drums), Roy Montrell (guitar), and Nat Perrilliat (tenor sax).

Love it – heavily influenced by Nat King Cole and maybe Sam Cooke, with some New Orleans influence (though not very strong here as on later Neville Brothers records).
