Notes

Unavailable in the U.S.! CD reissue. This is one mighty strange album! Dr. John delivers an album almost as creative as his legendary debut. Actually, in some regards, this is even better than Gris-Gris. It is probably more melodic and less freaky overall. If Gris-Gris is the Night Tripper’s tour as the Grand Zombie through the primordial past, then Babylon is Dr. John Creaux’s tour as the Lonesome Guitar Strangler through the apocalyptic future. Dr. John shocks with a near masterpiece here.
