After you've gone (Hugh Laurie with Dr. John)

[brightsales1205]

Magnificent!! Not only Dr. John's mellow southern drawl, but Hugh's piano fit like a hand fits a glove. Also, whoever was on that horn during the interludes ought to be proud!!

[pantano207]

What I don't understand is what Hugh is actually doing in this track... isn't that just Dr. John on the piano and a clarinet?

[yammoun0808]

@pantano207 Actually, it's Hugh who's playing on piano and Dr. John is singing..

[glassharper]

I can't believe I lost the DVR recording I made of this PBS show -- time shifting -- but my disk was nearly full and some thouroughly inconsequential nighttime talk show I recorded erased it to get room! Hopefully it will be rebroadcasted many times in the future. I've got to admit, I never paid attention to H.L. until I discovered he loves (and can PLAY) New Orleans blues and jazz.

Hugh Laurie, aren´t you a Britton? Please get over your Yankee character!

[blacksupra001]

@VondranAndre he's like Richard Hammond he's a closet American XD

@blacksupra001

Agreed. I've noticed that, on the whole, British listeners tend to appreciate American music as an art form more than the majority of Americans. This is coming from an American who appreciates it and tries to return the favor, as I wish more of us would, beyond simply listening to whatever foreign stuff, British or otherwise, radio and the puny world music sections at most stores feed us. That's what YouTube's great for!

Thanks for posting! Does it get any better than this?? LOVE it!!

Just received the cd. All I can say is it is worth the waite.  Look forward to part 2 and a new cd from Band From TV.

Fantastic!! I have heard this song before, but Dr. John's version  is so full of feeling and bluesy melancholy. Hugh Laurie has said repeatedly that he has looked up to him for years, and that he shed a tear after they finished. I have only known Dr. John after Right Place Wrong Time in the early 70's, but if I were at that recording session, I would have cried too, because this rendering is so beautiful. I hope that Dr. J includes it in his summer concerts.

Dr. John and Laurie are amazing... if House ends, Fox should pick him up for something good right away...

i expect this album in season 8's soundtrack.

The African Americans Turner Layton (music) & Henry Creamer (lyrics) wrote this wonderful song soon after they formed a double-act in 1917. I have just contributed a biography of Mr Layton for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. It will be published in the not-too-distant future. It is a great song. Mr Laurie does it proud and another memorable version is Judy Garland's in the 1942 'vaudeville' movie For Me & My Gal.

after recording this, Hugh laurie wept - Dr John is one of his idols and he got to accompany him - cant blame him, big fan myself

[HughLaurieFan2]

After reading the titel of the vid, I expected Hugh Laurie to be singing?

[MsMoneySterling]

@HughLaurieFan2

Nah, Dr. John is singing but Hugh Laurie is defiantly playing the piano.

[medwardkelly]

@MsMoneySterling It's Mac Rebennack singing on this.

[MsMoneySterling]

I love this song! :3
