Review of #THTW out Friday ->
“Things Happen That Way” opens with the Nelson tune “Funny How Time Slips Away” — with the almost prescient line “I gotta go now, guess I’ll see you around / Don’t know when though / Never know when I’ll be back in town” — and Nelson himself joins Rebennack for a duet on the gospel traditional “Gimme That Old Time Religion.”
Later on the album, Aaron Neville is featured on The Traveling Wilburys’ “End of the Line” along with singer Katie Pruitt. And Rebennack looks to Hank Williams with slow and thick renditions of “Ramblin’ Man” and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” which will probably elicit a few tears in beers.
Lukas Nelson, Willie Nelson’s son, and his band Promise of the Real back up Rebennack for a new desert rock version of “I Walk on Guilded Splinters.” The original helped conjure #DrJohn’s hazy voodoo persona when it appeared on his debut album in 1968. Here, Rebennack and Nelson transpose the song from the murky Louisiana bayou and into the heat-baked Southwest — the danger and mystery remain, but the Promise of the Real opens the big sky to desert psychedelia."
