| Dr. John Confirms Fall Tour Dates Fresh off the release of his "career defining" (AMG) new album, 'Tribal, ' and his nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dr. John has confirmed a string of fall tour dates. Highlights include a Nov 13 performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland-a tribute honoring Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew-and a Dec 3 show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a New Orleans themed installment of the acclaimed "Red Hot" series. See below for full dates. 'Tribal' is Dr. John's funkiest, swampiest record since his iconic 1968 album, 'Gris Gris, ' and the reviews have been nothing short of spectacular. All Music Guide called the album "a revelation, " while Entertainment Weekly raved that "Dr. John and the Lower 911 still make mystique-dripping grooves sound easy." According to the NY Times, "Dr. John sounds much the same as in his wily youth, singing in a drawling croak and playing piano and organ with a principal stake in rhythm." The Philadelphia Inquirer agreed, describing the album as "downright irresistible."
