Billboard CD reviews: Dr. John, Motley Crue (Reuters)
21-Jun-2008   (Cached page)
Reuters - There's been no shortage of thoughtful musical responses to Hurricane Katrina, but this album-length elegy by one of the city's foremost voices stands as something like the Mitchell Report of the bunch. "City That Care Forgot" is a righteous service indeed, all rage and soul and careful optimism, a place where the ballads drip and burn as much as the rockers, the barbs come quick and sharp ("Say it's a job well done, then you giggled like a bitch, and hopped back on the Air Force One"), and the best prognosis that the doctor can muster is, "We're getting there." Dr. John has enlisted much help here, including that of Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson and Terence Blanchard, and his own Lower 911 band can churn up bayou funk at the snap of a finger. But though "City" is a vicious rebuke, its greater power comes from its being shot through with a deep love and a deeper sadness.

Former British fashion model Pattie Boyd, who was married to Beatle George Harrison, then to guitar god Eric Clapton, is seen during an interview with The Associated Press in London, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2007. For Boyd, Harrison wrote 'Something,' one of the Fab Four's most-covered tunes. Clapton's passion for his friend's wife inspired the scorching 'Layla.' Later, when Boyd had left Harrison and married Clapton, he serenaded her with 'Wonderful Tonight.' The songs made Boyd an icon through the words of others. She tells her own side of the story in the newly released memoir 'Wonderful Tonight,' written with royal biographer Penny Junor. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)AP - Pattie Boyd is the A-list musicians' muse. A convent schoolgirl turned swinging London fashion model, Boyd was married to Beatle George Harrison, then to guitar god Eric Clapton — and the relationships live on in song.
