Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
Start with the Meters, whose hard funk is so efficient there's not a wasted note or out-of-sync beat. Add producer Allen Toussaint's wonderful vocal and horn arrangements. Top them off with seven Rebennack originals plus four well-chosen covers, and you have an album that seemed to arrive out of nowhere at the time of its original 1973 release. It still sounds garden-fresh today, not just the monster hits, 'Right Place, Wrong Time' and 'Such a Night,' but also the chain-gang funk of 'Same Old Same Old,' the verbal insults of 'Qualified,' even the second-line soul of 'Shoo Fly Marches On.' The closest thing to a weak link is 'Peace Brother Peace,' in which Rebennack anoints himself the Dr. Feelgood of love and happiness. But the Meters sound as if they believe every word he's singing, so who are we to argue? --Keith Moerer

- A classic rediscovered
As the memory banks brought the song to the forefront, aided by some current Dr.John news (he is doing some great charity work) this CD further cemented his pace in the musical grand hall.
now looking at the rest of the library. I guess now that it's loaded into iTunes, the Genius Bar will help.

- Always the right time...
This CD is funky throughout, with some slow gems in between. I got it for the title track & "Such a Night", since I am in love with "The Last Waltz" version, but the rest of the album is a joy to listen to. Great horns by the Meters & the soulful voice of The Doctor! Especially nice with the Summer coming along...

- No Funkin' Around
Funk, in its purest form, is hard to come by these days. That's because we don't have the kind of wreckless visionaries that the 70s had, like Dr. John and George Clinton. These guys were so far gone into their music that they bordered on being parodies of themselves, and somehow that translated into the kind of raw and unprecedented energy that makes their music so saturated in what one would ideally define as 'funky'. Take Dr. John: the dude is basically the white George Clinton, with his crazy head dresses and honky tonk muppet voice. Put him in front of a piano, get the Meters to lay down the tightest funk grooves you've ever heard, and add producer Alain Toussaint's canjun roots and you've got an exceptionally enjoyable album in "In The Right Place". The music is uplifting and listenable; The Meters take the house down with some thick bass riffs, brilliantly arranged horns and tight-as-hell percussions. Dr. ... Read More
