  • Tracklist
  • "Babylon" is the 2nd album by US singer-songwriter Dr. John. Shortly after the groundbreaking debut album "Gris-Gris", he created another wonderful record, full of voodoo psychedelia and mysterious R&B melodies.

    The album is haunting and freaky at the same time - and an attempt by the band to tell something about the times in which this album was recorded. For example, the Vietnam War or the assassination of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. each had an influence on the unusual musical time documents and the lyrics that tell of the end of the world.

    Dr. John died on June 6, 2019, 8 years after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
