\u00a4 \u00a0Mac Rebennack \u00a0a.k.a. \u00a0Dr John\u00a0 \u00a0[1941-2019]<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

Although he didn’t become widely known until the 1970s,\u00a0Dr. John<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>had been active in the music industry since the late ’50s, when the teenager was still known as\u00a0Mac Rebennack<\/a>. A formidable boogie and blues pianist with a lovable growl of a voice, his most enduring achievements have fused New Orleans R&B, rock, and Mardi Gras craziness to come up with his own brand of \u00abvoodoo\u00bb music.<\/p>\n

He’s also quite accomplished and enjoyable when sticking to purely traditional forms of blues and R&B. On record, he veers between the two approaches, making for an inconsistent and frequently frustrating legacy that often makes the listener feel as if \u00abthe Night Tripper<\/strong><\/a>\u00bb (as he’s nicknamed himself) has been underachieving.<\/p>\n
