Review

Q (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "MERCERNARY makes a warm an affectionate tribute that has the good Doctor completely remodelling hoary old chestnuts...in his inimitable Crescent City fashion."
Down Beat (p.88) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Mercer's deft juxtaposition of the silly and sublime is highly conducive to New Orleans creativity, and Rebennack makes the most of it, emphatically accentuating the eccentricity..."
Dirty Linen (p.54) - "Dr. John sticks to gritty, gumbo-style arrangements that will convince you that Mercer co-wrote 'Blues in the Night' and 'Moon River' in New Orleans."
Living Blues (p.55) - "[Several] outings funkify the originals with the kind of audacious irreverence that will delight the open-minded....As usual the musicianship is flawless."

Title Note

Personnel: Dr. John (vocals, piano); John Fohl (guitars); Eric Truab, Herbert Hardisty (tenor saxophone); Alonzo Bowen (baritone saxophone); Charlie Miller (trumpet); David Barard (bass guitar); Herman Ernest III (drums, percussion); Kenyatta Simon (percussion).

For as much as Dr. John is associated with New Orleans R&B, he's logged plenty of miles roaming through the Great American Songbook. On MERCERNARY, he manages to bring the two worlds together. On this tribute to the great songwriter Johnny Mercer, the old Night Tripper takes Mercer-penned standards like "Blues in the Night" and "That Old Black Magic" and comes dangerously close to redefining them. By adding his patented serpentine Big Easy groove to these well worn tunes, he comes up with a new sound that blows a breath of fresh air into the Mercer catalog--a feat few other interpreters could manage.
