Dr. John Takes "Wildest Record" (Rolling Stone) 'Locked Down' To Fallon 4/3

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) The iconic Dr. John (a.k.a. Mac Rebennack) is already earning some of the highest praise of his 50+ year career for 'Locked Down,' his new collaboration with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach -- including a glowing lead review in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will perform on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' with Auerbach on Tuesday, April 3, the day 'Locked Down' is released on Nonesuch Records.

Here's what critics have been saying about 'Locked Down':
"Full of muscled, vintage R&B grooves, fevered soloing, psychedelic arrangements and oracular mumbo jumbo, it's the wildest record Rebennack has made in many years." - Rolling Stone

"One of the smokiest, funkiest, sexiest works of the legend's career." - New York Daily News

"10 of the funkiest tracks Dr. John's been involved in since the '70s. There are elements of 'Gris-Gris' and 'Babylon,' but this is no revival; the night-tripping grooves are tight, cosmically-inclined, and brewed with a real soulfulness. This is definitely right place, right time." - Mojo

"A return to darker core values...It's the freshest, tautest record he's made for years...A vivid reminder as to why his myth has endured so long...No one else comes close to sounding like this." - Q

"True to the spirit of the artist on its cover, being mean, lean and funky...Auerbach has done an excellent job bringing an artist who will never be out of date into the 21st century." - BBC
