But this much is certain: Things Happen that Way, with its simmering stew of jazz, funk, rock and country, is an appropriate cap to John’s formidable discography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn revisits “I Walk on Guilded Splinters” with POTR and brings the voodoo. He’s all boo-hoo on Hank Williams’ weepy “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” And the Good Doctor proves he still had a lot of living do with the good juju of “Give Myself a Good Talkin’ To.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt should’ve been a late-career highlight. Instead, it’s a musical epitaph; Things Happen that Way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo Comments comments associated with this post\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e— Kristopher Weiss, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jambands.com\/reviews\/2022\/10\/14\/dr-john-things-happen-that-way\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ejambands.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout his six-decade long career, Dr. John embodied a near-mythic multitude of musical identities: Global Ambassador of New Orleans funk and jazz and R\u0026amp;B, visionary bluesman, rock and roll innovator, and a massively revered high priest of psychedelic voodoo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings Happen That Way, his final studio album, adds another dimension to his musicality: a lifelong affinity for country \u0026amp; western.
