The only Sonny & Cher-related album released (and presumably recorded) around the same time as Gris Gris is Sonny Bono's solo LP, Innerviews. However, in researching this, I learned that Cher recorded a cover of "Walk On Gilded Splinters", which is news to me!

Its tighter and funkier than the original, but pretty good too - much better than Paul Weller's version! Anyway, Dr. John is god and the "Sun, Moon" album is excellent.

here's a question...i read that "sun moon and herbs" was originally slated as a 3lp...was all that material actually recorded and shelved or was it simply aborted before going into the studio?
someone needs to put out a box set of those four albums with crazy outtakes and the lost sun moon and herbs material. i can't believe i've never read about any bootlegs, whether of unreleased material or of live performances from the period.

speaking of Sonny and Cher, I guess ya'll know Rebennack's associate from NOLA, Harold Battiste, arranged a lot of Sonny and Cher records? And this bizarre girl group, the Cake (they did a version of Jessie Hill's "Ooh Poo Pah Doo").
And speaking of AFO (Battiste's short-lived New Orleans collective record label), I recommend Dr. John and Ronnie Barron doing "Talk That Talk" on the AFO comp More Gumbo Stew: Original AFO New Orleans R&B.

Here's something I wrote about one track on City That Care Forgot, which album I couldn't get into otherwise:
http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/rs_sotd/131/song-of-the-day-dr-john-and-the-lower-911-land-grab/
I like Tribal more -- especially the title track, which as far as I can tell is the only track where the hype about the album being a throwback to the weird avant voodoo funk of Gris Gris has any credence. But I have to say the album has shrunk on me with repeated listens, seems rather stodgy (not to mention long) in the long run. Not nearly a throwback to the Mardi Gras funk of Gumbo or the Southern rock swamp funk of In The Right Place either, though I wish it was. But if there are great tracks I'm ignoring, I'm curious what people think they might be. (Well, actually, Ben Ratliff in the NY Times already did -- see link below, and scroll down -- though I'm mostly not hearing what he's hearing, at least not yet):

Herman Ernest, longtime Dr. John drummer, dies of cancer
Published: Monday, March 07, 2011, 12:41 PM
By Keith Spera, The Times-Picayune
Herman Ernest III, the longtime drummer in Dr. John’s Lower 911 band and a literal and figurative giant of New Orleans funk drumming, died Sunday of cancer at his home. He was 59.
Renowned for his larger-than-life personality, Mr. Ernest, known affectionately as Roscoe, was both a powerful percussionist and steadfast individual. He referred to his playing style as “diesel funk.”
He was featured on most Dr. John recordings going back at least 20 years, as well as on myriad albums by artists across the spectrum of New Orleans music. He starred in a 2004 New Orleans drumming instructional DVD alongside Herlin Riley, Johnny Vidacovich and Earl Palmer.

He kept trying to play right to the end:
Most recently, Mr. Ernest cut tracks for “Nine Lives,” a forthcoming CD and musical based on Dan Baum’s book of the same title. Singer-songwriter Paul Sanchez recalled in a posting Sunday on the OffBeat message board how Mr. Ernest played through intense pain during the recording session.

"black widow spider" off "babylon" is one of the greatest rhythm tracks ever.

I liked it too, I guess I should have clarified. Yeah, it seems to have less of its roots in "voodoo" or Haitian music (or whatever it is he's mutating on "Gris Gris") and more psychedelic rock and jazz and beat poetry. Mac sounds stoned to the gills on this one.

new album with Black Keys guitarist and others coming soon:
The keyboardist and bassist, Leon Michels and Nick Movshon, are from the El Michels Affair, one of the bands associated with Dap-Tone records from Brooklyn and the world of retro-funk that brought you the sound of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” record. (They’ve also both played in the touring version of the Black Keys.) The guitarist Brian Olive, once of the Soledad Brothers, whose own solo album “Two of Everything” was produced last year by Mr. Auerbach, is part of the same fraternity of backward-looking obsessives.
This record will find some fans among those who loved “Back to Black,” and it should. But have you ever wondered how hip is too hip? “Locked Down,” with its down-cold James Black drum rhythms, distorted Fender Rhodes keyboards and free-range, organically farmed reverb, is a useful test case. (By the way, go back and listen to Dr. John’s complicated, spaced-out record “The Sun, Moon & Herbs,” from 1971, when all recordings were analog: are we trying to out-hip that on its own terms?) If Dr. John weren’t grounding it with his casual essence, it might collapse under the weight of its own studied scuff.
But some of it is beautiful, and I look forward to hearing it live. One can do that right
plus live in NYC:
a residency spread across three weekends. March 29 to 31 he’ll perform in “A Louis Armstrong Tribute,” which is just what it sounds like but different, including performances from Arturo Sandoval, Rickie Lee Jones and the Blind Boys of Alabama. April 5 to 7 he’ll be performing “Locked Down” with Mr. Auerbach and band; and April 12 to 14 he presents “Funky but It’s Nu Awlins,” with guests from his hometown, including Donald Harrison, Davell Crawford, Ivan Neville, Irma Thomas and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

― curmudgeon, Monday, 27 February 2012 15:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
The record has an African flavor beyond the rhythms. When Mr. Auerbach first approached Dr. John in 2010 about doing an album, he played him Ethiopian jazz by the vibraphonist Mulatu Astatke to give him an idea of the otherworldly keyboard sounds he was after. “I wanted it not to be a throwback album,” Mr. Auerbach said. “I wanted young people to hear it and fall for this stuff, not in a retro way.”
He then recruited young musicians steeped in African pop. They were anchored by the German drummer Max Weissenfeldt, who specializes in Ethiopian and Afro-pop beats, and the bassist Nick Movshon, a New Yorker who has mastered several African styles. They ate Ethiopian food and listened to African jazz during the 10 days in September when they wrote and recorded instrumental tracks at Mr. Auerbach’s studio, Easy Eye Sound.
“It was funny because we were sitting in his studio and we’d be on a roll from eating Ethiopian food and listening to Ethiopian jazz,” Dr. John said, “and then we’d cut something, and it kind of rubbed off. There is a lot of northwest African stuff in there and northeast African stuff, and there is some stuff that reminds me a little bit of Fela Kuti.”

I need to pick this up. On one cursory listen it doesn't sound radically different from his recent (non-Great American Songbook) recordings, but I'll admit I haven't been paying close attention to the last few. He was surprisingly great the last time I saw him though, and dug into some deep catalog titles.
If I were in NYC I would see “Funky but It’s Nu Awlins” in a heartbeat.

well, none of them are quite as spacey as Gris Gris. Babylon has a bunch of weird shit on it - children's choirs, odd time signatures, also this amazing song:
Remedies *wanted* to be a psych record but his manager fucked that one up pretty bad afaict. By the time he got around to Sun, Moon, and Herbs things had straightened out a little sonically but the material is all still in that voodoo-blues vein (also features Keith Richards and Mick Jagger iirc). Once he hooked up with the Meters he was pretty solidly in the fonk pocket.

Sorry, Dan, don't know if there were too many obscurities. It was actually kind of hard to hear especially the lyrics where I was sitting. Irma Thomas we could hear pretty clearly, she sang two numbers "Wish Someone Would Care" and "(You Can Have My Husband but) Don't Mess with My Man." The biggest pleasant surprises were Ivan Neville singing his dad's "Hercules" and the band playing Smokey Johnson's "It Ain't My Fault," but apparently the latter gets covered a lot. Tami Lynn did not sing "Mojo Hannah" couldn't tell what else she did sing. She seems like a last minute addition since everybody else's bio was printed in there program but her info was inserted on a separate sheet of paper.
