LOCKED DOWN
Locked Down is a 2012 album by New Orleans R&B artist Dr. John. It was well received by critics and features the Black Keys guitarist and singer Dan Auerbach as guitarist, background vocalist and producer, and Max Weissenfeldt of the Whitefield Brothers on drums. (More from Wikipedia)
Dan Auerbach had wanted to produce an album with Dr. John exploring the territory that he staked out in the late 1960’s and 1970’s as Dr. John the Night Tripper. The result is Locked Down, a 2012 release, with Auerbach producing and several young musicians backing Dr. John. Among others, Brian Olive is shown as co-writer with Dr. John on all of the songs (as is Dan Auerbach), and he also plays saxophone.
