The son of blues legend Junior Kimbrough, David Malone recorded I Got the Dog in Me at age 29, not long after serving a five-year sentence at Parchman Prison in his home state of Mississippi. It includes seven originals which he wrote while incarcerated and two of his father's songs ("Do the Romp" and "Raunchy Stuff"). Considering the fact that he wrote countless songs while locked up, it's hard to swallow the notion that these are apparently his best. There are some nice J.L. Hooker-style licks on the title cut, and there is some respectable guitar rocking on "Trying to Figure You Out," but for the most part, these tunes all sound the same. Unless you just can't get enough of the "Wang Dang Doodle" groove, this one probably won't see a second spin in your CD player. ~Review by Ann Wickstrom

Thanks to Marc.

Back in 1998, the New Orleans Musicians Clinic (NOMC) was formed to provide much-needed healthcare to the city's many musicians and their families. The clinic was the first such health initiative in the United States, and has served as an invaluable blueprint for other cities. The clinic is part of the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation (NOMAF), which provides social and occupational assistance to over 1,800 struggling musicians in the Crescent City.

Shortly after the opening of the NOMC, the organization released the original Get You A Healin' CD, a twelve-track collection of New Orleans styled blues, jazz, and R&B that featured artists like Art Neville, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, Irma Thomas, and Coco Robicheaux, among others. All the musicians donated their time and songs to this benefit album, which was intended to raise awareness of musician's health issues and maybe make a little much-needed cash for the clinic.

Flash forward a decade or so, and the ravages of Hurricane Katrina and its lengthy aftermath have wreaked havoc on New Orleans' musical heritage. With federal funding cuts and dwindling contributions due to the economy, the New Orleans Musicians Clinic is going back to the well one more time with an anniversary reissue of Get You A Healin'. The digital-only release will be available on iTunes, Amazon, and other retailers on August 24, 2010 and money raised from the sales of the digital album and individual tracks will be used to further the clinic's efforts.

For this anniversary reissue, the original twelve tracks on Get You A Healin' have been expanded by another ten new songs, the expanded album featuring the talents of the aforementioned artists as well as folks like guitarist Richard Thompson, Sonia Dada, the subdudes, Bonerama, Christine Ohlman (of the Saturday Night Band), and the great B.B. King, among others. ~By Reverend Keith A. Gordon
