A dense album that brings together a stellar lineup of British musicians and updates the eerie voodoo funk sound.
Featuring a host of British artists, including Paul Weller and Jason Pearce, this album recreates the alluring mood of early "Night Tripper" in a modern way. The unrestrained energy of New Orleans intersects with the sensibility of UK rock to create a dense psychedelic funk.
This ambitious album, which reached No. 33 in the UK charts, sees Dr. John retain the eerie atmosphere of his early persona while further expanding his New Orleans-infused groove with collaborations with British rockers. Featuring a stellar lineup including Paul Weller, Jason Pierce, and Supergrass, and produced by John Leckie, the album effortlessly blends heaviness with a psychedelic, ethereal ambiance. The iconic "Voices in My Head" features ominous vocals over a swirling rhythm, while the title track "Anutha Zone" exudes a festive energy. The warmth of the closing track, "Sweet Home New Orleans," adds to the album's unique blend of mysticism and liberation.
