Dr. John - In The Right Place 1973

Dr. John finally struck paydirt here and was certainly In the Right Place. With the hit single "Right Place Wrong Time" bounding up the charts, this fine collection saw many unaware listeners being initiated into New Orleans-style rock. Also including Allen Toussaint's "Life," and a funky little number entitled "Traveling Mood," which shows off the good doctor's fine piano styling, and with able help from the Meters as backup group, In the Right Place is still a fine collection to own.

Part, for me anyway, of the beauty of Mac hitting the charts with all of this, is the fact he was in rehab when he wrote the song. He was in what became Celebrity Rehab. I was there myself a couple of times. Who am I? No one it seems. But I was there. So was he. Probably the best story of that place was when Dennis Hopper was there. He snuck down to the local liquor store, half a block away, purchased a magnum of bourbon. A neighbor let management that there was a drunk dude, nude, in a tree over the four lane street, wearing a cowboy hat and boots, howling at the moon over rush hour traffic.

Hi FiveGunsWest, thanks for your visit and comment! What an interesting crazy story, think Dennis had just a sudden wish for being high with the bourbon on the top of the tree, eheehh, Eazy Rider's sequels! Ahahhah! Take care and enjoy it. :)
