Un trabajo único, irrepetible e imprescindible.
Sólo por el riff principal de Right Place Wrong Time, con el que el pianista y cantante de Nueva Orleans abre el disco, merece la pena la escucha. Pero además contiene otras joyas de la talla de Such a Night, Qualified o Peace Brother Peace. En realidad todos los temas del disco resultan imprescindibles. Desde la balada Just the Same hasta la herencia psicodélica del disco Gris-Gris (que por cierto merecería otro apartado especial en esta web) en temas como Same Old Same Old o I Been Hoodood, pasando por el espíritu dance de la sorprendente Life.
Grabado con la producción de Allen Toussaint y el respaldo de The Meters, In the Right Place es otra prueba del exquisito gusto de Dr. John para combinar estilos dando como resultado una delicia con sabor a Funk y R&B.
