New Orleans heavy metal legends DOWN have made their special cover of Dr. John's classic "Right Place, Wrong Time" available on all streaming platforms. Originally released as a limited Mardi Gras tribute, the track now joins the band's catalog for all to enjoy.

Dr. John's 1973 classic fused New Orleans blues, jazz, R&B, soul, and funk into an undeniable groove. DOWN's rendition pays tribute to the beloved singer/songwriter and his legendary appearances on The Midnight Special TV series.

In 2026 news: DOWN will serve as direct support to Slayer at the special 40th anniversary of Reign in Blood show on September 4 in Shakopee, MN, alongside Suicidal Tendencies and Hatebreed. They'll also headline Day 2 of Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Denver on December 5 — their first Denver performance in over 12 years.

Nuclear Blast Records also announced a remastered edition of DOWN's Over the Under (remastered by Eric Koondel) dropping June 19, including bonus track "Invest In Fear" — the first time the LP will be officially available in the US market.
