Dr. John, Things Happen That Way, 2022 on Rounder

Dr. John’s final studio LP, posthumously released by Rounder after he passed in 2019. Guest appearances by Aaron Neville (“End of the Line”), Willie Nelson (“Gimme That Old Time Religion”), and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real (“I Walk on Guilded Splinters”).

Great covers here: Willie Nelson’s “Funny How Time Slips Away,” Hank Williams Sr.’s “Ramblin’ Man” and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” and the Traveling Wilburys’ “End of the Line.” Sad to lose such a great talent.

My copy—direct from Rounder Records’ store—is the “coke bottle clear” vinyl pressing in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics sheet.

Musical Interlude: I happened on this gently optimistic and hopeful tune today, and it clicks with how I've been feeling lately, that despite everything, the world will be OK in the long run.

"We'll Be Alright," performed by Lukas Nelson.
