Dr. John - his real name is Mac Rebennack - has been playing a heady brew of New Orleans R&B, gospel, and funk for over three decades. He has over twenty solo records to his credit, and has played side man on literally hundreds of other singles and albums. The good doctor is truly a "conjure man;" his rollicking boogie- woogie and blues, unpretentious voice, and flamboyant style are hypnotic.
A prodigious songwriter, masterful piano player, two-time Grammy Award winner and celebrated ambassador of New Orleans music, Mac has secured a place for himself in rock history. The Los Angeles Times called him "a marvelous link in a chain of great New Orleans R&B piano players stylistically descended from Professor Longhair."
Dr John demonstrates his remarkable music, discusses his influences and shares intriguing stories of a life in the music business, covering more than 30 songs, from New Orleans blues to Duke Ellington. There's a goldmine of musical knowledge here!
