Review: Dr. John, “Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit of Satch” from The Last Music Company

June 18, 2020 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

What happens when you mix a bit of gris-gris with a touch of classic jazz? You get a party of an album such as Dr. John’s Ske-Dat-Ske-Dat: The Spirit of Satch! The late Mac Rebennack, a.k.a. Dr. John, frequently drew on the classic sounds of New Orleans as he conjured his own musical voodoo. Most appropriately, his final studio album was a tribute to one of the most significant figures to ever emerge from the Crescent City. Louis Armstrong transformed the sounds of both jazz and popular music, and on the 2014…

In Memoriam: Dr. John (1941-2019)

June 7, 2019 by Joe Marchese | 2 Comments

Over a colorful life and career spanning seven decades, Mac Rebennack – a.k.a. Dr. John, The Night Tripper – left his mark as a singer, songwriter, musician, arranger, and producer spreading the gospel of New Orleans rhythm and blues. With his distinctive rasp of a growl and expressive touch at the keyboard, nobody sounded like Dr. John. Nobody looked like him, either, with his voodoo beads, colorful feathers, and larger-than-life frame. Even his speech patterns were all his own. Funk, blues, rock, soul, psychedelia, and jazz were just a few components of…

Review: Dr. John, “The Atco/Atlantic Singles 1968-1974”

September 29, 2015 by Joe Marchese | 2 Comments

Dr. John’s most famous single was titled “Right Place Wrong Time,” but the one and only Mac Rebennack has certainly found himself in the right place at many a right time. One particularly halcyon period of the funky New Orleans piano man’s long career is captured on Omnivore Recordings’ essential new collection of The Atco/Atlantic Singles 1968-1974 (OVCD-149). Though the 22 U.S. and U.K. singles included on this collection represent Dr. John’s earliest years as a solo artist under that moniker, Rebennack was already a music veteran by the time he signed…

Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Mike Bloomfield, Dr. John Featured On “Soundstage Blues Summit”

April 2, 2015 by Joe Marchese | 3 Comments

Muddy Waters (1913-1983) was frequently considered the father of Chicago blues. Born in Mississippi and discovered there in 1941 by musicologist Alan Lomax, he moved to the Windy City in 1943 and proceeded to refine and redefine the sound of the blues, inspiring not just future artists in the genre but, significantly, those who later created rock-and-roll. In July 1974, some of the country’s premier blues artists joined together onstage in Chicago to celebrate the Muddy Waters legacy with the man himself. On April 21, Legacy Recordings will issue Muddy Waters and…
