About This Song
About "(Everybody Wanna Get Rich) Rite Away (2006 Remastered LP Version) (2006 Remastered)" by Dr. John
Dr. John's funk-inflected swagger turns 'Rite Away' into a gumbo of greed and groove. Horns blare like stock-market alarms, piano rolls under a voice dripping with irony. The tension between celebration and critique simmers in the second line.
