Voodoo Hoodoo

Dr. John's Voodoo-inspired Gri Gri sounds meet Fats Domino! American Roots music at it's uptown best! A blend of New Orleans-inspired original R&B, trad jazz and gospel performed by one of the East Coast's hardest-working bands.

This set includes music perfect for Halloween that isn't actually about Halloween, although everything included here is definitely scary on one level or another. Consisting of vintage jazz and blues tracks issued between 1925 and 1961, there are plenty of songs here about devils and witches, including Tampa Red's "Witchin' Hour Blues," Sippie Wallace's "Devil Dance Blues," and the Mississippi Sheiks' "I Am the Devil," among others. There's also a classic version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins doing his signature tune, "I Put a Spell on You," this one done with the Leroy Kirkland Orchestra.
