And although Dr. John never liked this version much, it is proof of the theory 'less is more'. The spells that Dr. John and his companions weave are dark and swampy. \"Black John The Conqueror\" has its origins in ancient Cajun folklore, which the good Dr. modernized and gave a beat. The swampy \"Craney Crow\" is the younger sibling of his earlier \"Walk On Guilded Splinters\" and has a similar effect on the listener. \"Pots On Fiyo (File´ Gumbo)\" combines Latin-American rhythms with a wealth of Cajun chants and spells. The vocals are almost unfathomable and serve rather more as an additional musical instrument in the mix. \"Zu Zu Zu Mamou\" is so tightly knitted that one can almost cut through the music with a knife; the mood here takes on a quite different meaning. \"The Sun, Moon \u0026amp; Herbs\" is best heard on a hot sultry night where thunder rolls in the distance like jungle drums. Dr. John certainly had something specific in mind, but it is up to the listener to find out just what it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g High Quality Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Analogue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from the original, analogue mastertapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaithful reproduction of original artwork and label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at Pallas in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGatefold jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack John The Conqueror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Ya At Mule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCraney Crow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamiliar Reality - Opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePots On Fiyo (File Gumbo) \/ Who I Got To Fall On (If The Pot Get Heavy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZu Zu Mamou\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamiliar Reality - Reprise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59548793241681,"sku":"4260019716002","price":12.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/5778\/3889\/files\/original_19202775-ef09-4307-9440-44dea450d9ce.jpg?v=1779357015","url":"https:\/\/c09u90-kd.myshopify.com\/products\/dr-john-the-sun-moon-herbs-speakers-corner-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
