As far as I'm aware, Natalie Merchant is an ardent supporter of many good causes - I think a little preachiness in one's late teens and early 20s is forgiveable.

This was actually my first exposure to Dr. John. Although I enjoy his other recordings, I wish he would have stuck with this stuff for a while. Being both a native Louisianian and an avid fan of psychedelia, this is one of my favorite albums ever. Good comparison to Barrett-era Floyd. Do you know where I can find more stuff like this?
