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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. John doesn't dissappoint, December 4, 2005

By	B. A. Biron "Music in my soul" (Poughkeepsie, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars VooDoo U Do, February 28, 2006

By	J. Checchia "BOBDYLAN" (Philadelphia PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
