Sludge metal supergroup Down have issued a new cover of NOLA legend Dr. John‘s 1973 track “Right Place Wrong Time“. This first new music from the outfit in numerous years has been released with a music video shot by Mike Holderbeast in celebration of this year’s Mardi Gras.
Down vocalist Phillip H. Anselmo commented:
“Dr. John’s ‘Right Place, Wrong Time’ is probably one of the first songs I ever learned or knew of as a kid. We grew up in the French Quarter and Dr. John’s music was everywhere. Recording this song was something that I always wanted to do and I’m happy that I did it with Down. The video was an absolute blast to make. Even my mom is in it! Because of her, I know Dr. John’s music very well.”
Word on Down‘s long-awaited first new full-length album since 2007 remains pending, with recording sessions for it having been shown to be taking place throughout 2025.
