Editorial Review:
Having been deeply moved by the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, legendary offspring and piano man Dr. John (Mac Rebenack) fondly remembers his hometown of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in this four-song EP. Sippiana Hericane serves up his gift for storytelling while tying together the past and present musical styles and culture that are synonymous with the Big Easy. Sippiana Hericane is his most passionate ode to the city of New Orleans.All net label and artist profits from the sale of the CD will be donated to the organizations involved in the relief efforts and rebuilding of New Orleans and the musical environment of the city including the New Orleans Musicians Clinic, Salvation Army, and the Jazz Foundation of America.

Rating:  - Sippiana Hericane by Dr. John
In my opinion, this album is one from the best albums of this incredible artist.
Rating: - VooDoo U Do
There's sumthin mysterious everytime I put on a Dr. John or Prof Longhair CD. Maybe it's because I am a yankee full breed, or maybe I just appreciate the style of music that comes from the Big Easy. This is not one of the good doctor's best releases, nor should it be. This album serves as a signature release of New Orleans tribute. So enjoy I did. Everyone has their style! ALSO, VISIT NEW ORLEANS! You won't be disappointed!

The centerfold quotes lyrics by the "Reverend" Goat Carson: "...don't you dare forget me, don't you dare disappear like the barge, that rammed that levee here, DON'T YOU EVER JUSTIFY THE RACIST WAY THEY LET US DIE...". (Emphasis added.) If you're one of the silly conspiracy nuts that actually believes that evil white people purposely took steps (during Katrina and during earlier hurricanes) to increase ...

Rating: - Dr. John doesn't dissappoint
Had the opportunity to attend a benefit concert with Dr. John and Natalie Merchant. He shared some cuts off this new release and it is a little bit of New Orleans for everyone to share. I have also been blessed to have visited N'awlins three times and cherish the music. This release allows us to hang on to the hope that the city and music will survive.
He is a truly amazing musician.
