Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating with legendary producer Tommy LiPuma, 'Tango Palace' finds the Night Tripper smoothing out his gritty New Orleans voodoo-blues with slick, highly orchestrated funk and subtle disco grooves. Dr. John's unmistakable, gravelly piano-pounding remains front and center, elevated by a stellar cast of studio heavyweights. The record is a uniquely polished, highly rhythmic chapter in his expansive discography.
