New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Dr. John's latest album, 'City That Care Forgot' (429 Records) was released on Tuesday to rave reviews. With its pointed lyrics and songs that stay true to his good time party vibe, 'City That Care Forgot' is the Good Doctor's tribute to his hometown of New Orleans following the devastation of Katrina.

Here's what we've been reading:

"John's fury is fueled less by a political agenda and more by a love for his city, and that devotion makes this an album that demands attention." - USA Today

"A furious album" - Newsweek

"His newest CD 'City That Care Forgot' blends smooth R&B with lyrics that fume at the city's post-Katrina neglect." - New York Post

"It's Dr. John to the core, in his finest recorded effort in 30-plus years." - Chicago Sun-Times

"Fan-pleasing funky grooves aside, 'City That Care Forgot' seems angry enough. Taken in full, these 13 tracks might insight more widespread outcry: He channels post-Katrina fury as capably as rappers like Juvenile have, and lays out relevant issues - local, national and global - in ways that, say, Nancy Pelosi simply hasn't. If elected leaders lack Dr. John's political will, they also don't have his magnetic drawl or the bristling power of his Lower 911 band." - Village Voice

"Few people have done a better job of codifying the spirit of New Orleans over the years, offering tributes to its musical forefathers and participating directly in nearly half a century of its most important music. On 'City That Care Forgot' he may have fashioned its most elegant obituary." - Offbeat
