A New Orleans icon who sadly passed in 2019. He had a totally unique sound and persona.
You've got to hear Dr. John & Rickie Lee Jones singing the Jazz standard "Makin' Whoopee" . Also for Female Fridays actress Michelle Pfeiffer's version.
He's the inspiration for Dr. Teeth on the Muppet Show.
They gave him a traditional New Orleans funeral procession when he was layed to rest
He is the piano player also
@@davidtullis2810 yes, we know.
On June 16, 1973, Dr. John was the guest artist on American Bandstand. When he came on TV, he played this song. At that exact time, I was putting on a tux for my wedding! My brothers and I all got a big kick out of the "cosmic message" that was being sent. I still laugh about it to this day every time I hear this song. Love Dr. John and all his music. Another great reaction from Jay and Amber. BTW in 6 months my wife and I will celebrate our golden anniversary - so I guess it was right place AND right time. Peace out.
What an awesome story! Congrats on your long lasting marriage! Here’s to the right place at the right time! 🎉
Cool story - I've had weird stuff happen too.
Many years on your anniversary
Fabulous!! Congratulations 🎉
What a great, lovely story. Congratulations on your long lasting marriage.
He played at my parents wedding - The New Orleans icon for sure!
Also, at his memorial, it was the most moving musical tribute I’ve ever experienced !
THAT IS AWESOME!
Another totally unique musician who never got the public recognition that he should have received, but had a hell of cult following.
The good Doctor passed away in 2019. I was lucky enough to see him play twice here in Germany, the first time even with Johnny Winter. I miss him dearly.
One of the first concerts I ever went to when I was in high school. Dr John, along with BB King, Buddy Guy, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Not bad for one night of music. I'll never forget it. He's one of the greats!
Jeeez!! What a line up! Love them all!!
The Fabulous Thunderbirds!! There Songs Tuff Enuff, and Wrap it up!! MUST hears!! And their lead guitarist, was Jimmy Vaughn, Stevie Ray's brother!! 😃
Woof, Kyle, I am Jealous!
Dang. I've hit some nice triple-bills, but that's a fine QUAD set. Impressive.
That had to be a HELLAH good show!😍
"They call me Dr. John,
Known as the Night Tripper,
A satchel of gris gris in my hand." His first album is full of voodoo, psychedelic, swamp music. A great listen late at night in dark.
Phil I love the first album
I love that album too. It’s badass!
His best work was in the early albums. New Orleans Psychedelia was unique and wonderful. Still listen to it regularly.
Still trying to find a good vinyl copy at a reasonable price
Dr. John was once arrested for playing on stage with a black musician (whose name I forget) because of segregation laws. He was quoted as saying "This is stupid because next week Ray Charles is playing so you are just going to have to arrest me again". He also used to be a guitar player until he had half a finger shot off so he switched to piano.
He was on the right side of history when it came to civil rights. Truly ahead of his times.
He. And Joe Cocker were opening acts for SRV. When I went to see him, one of the best concerts I ever went to
Wow, what a fantastic combo!
I'm jealous SRV one of my fav's as well as a little known artist - Chris Whitley . Like SRV, an undeniably talented artist with an impressive catalogue of work that was gone far too soon.✌❤
Dayum! That’s a concert! 🙌🏻
This is one of his very upbeat songs, but The Doctor can bring you DEEP into Swanp music and Voodoo mysticism. He was a greatly sought after musician.
Dr John’s song made us do the “loose booty” dance so funny! We were all over the place shaking booties!
❤ Whachu know bout the "Loose Booty" 🤣🤣
@@panamas6865 ….it use to be a dance back in the day!😂
@@sheilameyers152 I know! I need to get up and make sure I can still do it! 🤣🤣
Y'all should check out his song "Such A Night" he did with The Band on The Last Waltz! You'll absolutely love it and get to see Dr. John perform as well! I actually got to meet him at the buffet line backstage at a Hot and Spicy Food Festival where he was one of the headliners and my little college band was playing one of the small side stages. He was gracious as could be, and fairly blown away that I addressed him by his given name, Mack Rebenak. I learned that from The Last Waltz movie - Y'ALL SHOULD ABSOLUTELY DO THAT MOVIE, BTW!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great film!
You all are a gift! I have played drums for over 55 years. Many if these songs from the late 60s to early 80s are in my playlist. I get filled up watching your joy. Keep it up, I will not only keep watching, I will spread the word and send some suggestions. Love to you and your children.
Glad you did this one! One of my favorite Dr John tunes. You may remember him when you guys first reacted to Jeff Healey, “See The Light”. Dr John did the piano solo! 👍
was about to say the same thing
An American icon, RIP DR. John. May I suggest more from him? Try Walk On Guilded Splinters and Such A Night.
I was just a kid when Gris Gris came out. Walk On Guilded Splinters scared the crap out of me.
The next song should be "Such a Night "- the version from "The Last Waltz"...
Also try "Makino Whoopie " his duet with Ricki Lee Jones...
I was just going to suggest I Walk on Guilded Splinters! I’m not too familiar with Dr. John’s catalog, other than his hit single, but I came across that one a few years back, and was mesmerized by it!
Oh, I’d also suggest Iko Iko! In addition to his version, there’s a really cool version by the Belle Stars from the early 80s that’s a lot of fun!
A wonderful example of how it doesn’t matter who you are if you’ve got music in your soul let it out! It’ll make life feel a heck of a lot better!
Dr. John is great. I love his duet with Rikki Lee Jones "Makin' Whoopie", great version of that song.
If you want a full on New Orleans reaction, look for the video for the Neville Brothers performing "Voodoo" at the legendary Tipitina's club (absolutely check it out while you're in town). It doesn't get much more N'awlins The Neville's are New Orleans royalty (you can also find videos of them performing with Dr. John) and you will love their funk/soul.
Love Tipitinas
Also, don't skip The Meters (or the Funky Meters depending on the time period in their career).
❤️❤️❤️THE NEVILLE BROTHERS❣️❣️❣️ AARON NEVILLE - VOICE OF AN ANGEL!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
@@neonpark1874 The Meters rule!!
This was from his 6th studio In The Right Place and was Dr John's biggest hit.
It's been featured in several shows and movies. Fargo, Dick and Jane, American Horror Show to name a few.
His voice is so cool and full bodied. Just a great song. Great reaction .Bengals leading 7-3.🐯🐯🐯 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Also featured in my brain
I think it was also in Sahara with Mathew McConaughey. Good movie based on a Clive Cussler novel.
It was in Dazed and Confused!!
My favorite Meagan Kelly!
He was in the movie "Pray TV" starring Dabney Coleman
Aaron Neville is also from New Orleans. He did some beautiful solo work, collaborations with his siblings (The Neville Brothers) and some gorgeous duets with Linda Ronstadt. 🌺✌️
And bet they never heard him or the meters or Art Neville either what do these clowns listen to
Dr. John ( Mac Rackenback) is New Orleans music royalty. Have seen him too many times to count. We sadly lost him about 3 years ago. Always a great show. He is also the inspiration for Dr. Teeth in the Muppets Band.
Rebennack, not Rackenback
This is the second time Dr. John is on your channel although it’s the first time he’s singing. He was playing piano in the Jeff Healy See The Light video.
Omg, Dr. John is an ICON!!! And when you ask for food suggestions, my first thought was beignets and chicory coffee at Café du Monde, but then I gotta ask if you've ever had beignets before? Because unfortunately for me, Café du Monde were my first beignets, and now no other s will ever live up to the fluffy, crispy, pillow heaven that is Café du Monde, and now I can only dream of going back for more!!! 🤩🥰
It's the first place I go when I'm in NOLA...
SHUT UP!! I'm drooling now!
One of the top 3 songs from my 60-year life. You can't not get jiggy. Glad tall cant forget it now.
"such a night" or "Walk On Gilded Splinters" are two other great Dr. John songs.
FYI: it was him playing piano on the Jeff Healey" reaction.."See the Light".
He was a much in demand session player who played with just about ever major rock act. A real talent.
Malcolm John Rebennack Jr., better known by his stage name Dr. John. Back in the day when I was first really getting into blues, New Orleans funk and jazz he was known as Dr. John the Night Tripper. He's been tight with all the greats, running the gamut from the Dead, to the Stones to Clapton to Leon Russel, going back to the days of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. He was the voodoo man who brought us New Orleans R&B mixed with psychedelic rock.
That's always been a favorite lyric of mine. "I'm gonna have to give myself a good talkin' to this time"
YEP!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
we all need that good talkin' to sometime. 😏
When he mentions "Brain Salad Surgery" that was one of the greatest 70's albums by the group Emerson, Lake and Palmer or ELP - I think you'll really enjoy them ; ) A lot of these albums were meant to be listened to the entire side all at once - they told a story - the radio started isolating songs to play
They actually reacted to Karn Evil 9 first impression!! That one might have been a little much for them but I also think that they reacted to Lucky Man or one of the slower songs also!!
Because in the 70's we all lived in harmony. We were all one race. The human race. You had all races singing and dancing together all genres. Those were the best years and the best time to live in total brotherhood. AND THE BEST MUSIC EVER !!! ❤
I wish music could bring people together in 2024 the way it did in the 70s. To us, the most creative and diverse period in music. Love your brother in 2024!
The funk:The Meters, The Neville Brothers, Professor Longhair. The Jazz: Louis Armstrong, Preservation Hall, Pete Fountain, The Marsalis family. The R&B/Rock: Marcia Ball, Nora Wixsted, and zillions of others! Parades: The Wild Tchopatulas , Dirty Dozen Brass Band. And any doorway or street corner. Have fun!
I need to add Trombone Shorty to your list. Nawlins is a treasure trove of endless amazing musicians.
The Meters are a must!!
The Meters tune Fire on the Bayou would be a good one for them to check out.
And the Neville Brothers are a must listen also.
Lots of wonderful music from the New Orleans area.
Irma Thomas, Fats Dominoe. It goes on and on.
The Meters are the folks playing with Dr. John on this very song. George Porter Jr., the bassist for The Meters, plays at the Maple Leaf Bar in New Orleans. His drummer, Terrence Houston, is definitely a must-hear!
I was 8 when this song came out in 1973. It's a song I heard for YEARS on the radio when I was young. It definitely has staying power, since it's still a serious banger!
The right feeling at the wrong time by HOT!
One of the reasons Sahara is a guilty pleasure of mine.
We're the same age, I was 8 in 1973 too. The 70s and early 80s was such a great time to grow up!
We listened to it in the late 80s as hip hop heads after rappers started sampling it - we'd seek out the original grooves
Hahaha love it when GenX posts their fake memories
You're right. This song is absolute fire! I was just a kid when this came out and I instantly loved it.
FIRE!! blazin-------*"`'*'``' "
He helped so many musicians replace their instruments after hurricanes.
Dr, John, is a great character! He wanted to play guitar but had to move to the piano when he got a finger shot off during a backroom card game. I hope there is a biography of this man out there.
I couldn't possibly LIKE this more!! Such a funky song from the 70's, the music goes so well with his gravelly voice.
That was great. Took me back to high school days. I was fortunate enough to see Dr. John at a BB King blues Festival at the Hollywood bowl. some time in the early 2000s. There were a lot of other great artists there but today we’re talking about Dr. John RIP. Love you guys keep up the great work!
Swear to god the good doctor just puts a massive smile on your face the groove is just infectious 😊
So Glad that you two enjoyed the musicality of the NightTripper, just one of the many, many characters of the Crescent City. On a somber note, please keep your heads on a swivel and always be aware while visiting this once great old dame that is New Orleans.
I was going to say something similar. N.O. is a great city, but has its problems. Crime is getting out of hand, so just be aware of your surroundings. Have a great time, eat a little of everything, and don’t be surprised by the characters you see!
I would be extremely careful. I was once a staunch defender of Nola, but I can no longer defend it. I haven't been in the city limits in over 2 years. I won't go. It's that dangerous.
@@dufrenedana1 wow that's scary! I went to nola years ago and stayed at hotel in the "safe square" around bourbon. Even 30 years ago, hotel staff showed me on a map the tourist "safety zone" heavily patrolled by law. Get out of this area, you're on your own. Hotel staff said if you go anywhere else take a legit cab there and back.
Being a small town girl, I listened and had a great time. Daytime cemetery tours, old house tour and even a ghost tour at night. All were with groups out of the safety square.
It's sad that crime has taken over the city.
@@tracyjohnson5023 it truly is sad. It legit breaks my heart. New Orleans was once one of the most amazing cities in the entire world. 😭😭😭
A FEW parts of the city are dangerous. But generally not the Quarter and tourist areas - unless you wander out at 2 am in an unfamiliar isolated street. That's why it's such big news when there IS a shooting in the Quarter or downtown or uptown -because those areas are generally safer than others and usually don't suffer violent crime.
I love Dr. John and am so glad that you are reacting to him. One of his great songs.
He also contributed to the Disney's 'Princess and the Frog,' shortly before he passed. I was first introduced to him when he hooked up with Leon Redbone on several recordings, including 'Frosty the Snowman' on the 'Christmas Island' album, and with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on 'It's All Over Now' from their 'Voodoo' album.
When you make your trip, try to catch Tuba Skinny; they play on street corners and often in bars and clubs. You can check out their sound on UA-cam.
If you want to dip into another song from the Playing for Change organization, Dr. John played a prominent role in their version of "Iko Iko." I believe it was probably one of his final public performances.
Good you got to Dr. John (Mac Rebenack is his birth name). One of the most unique artists in history. He did his song Such A Night for The Band’s concert The Last Waltz. He and Rickie Lee Jones did a duet on Makin’ Whoopee for the soundtrack to Sleepless In Seattle. A couple of other New Orleans bands you should check out are The Neville Brothers (Fiyo On The Bayou and Voodoo are good choices) and The Meters which also has Art Neville one of the Neville Brothers. Their song Cissy Strut will get you for sure.
Nice rendition of 'Such a Night", but it wasn't "his song", though he recorded a version of it. The performance with the Band was awesome. The Drifters first recorded the song written by Lincoln Chase. My favorite take is Elvis Presley's...his first recordings after the army.
R.I.P. Dr. John. What a talent!
I haven't heard this song in at least 40 years, wow! It's quite a statement about the music of the 70's that a great song like this could have been lost to me because it just got lost in the shuffle all the great music. Thanks for bringing this back to me I love it!
Arlo Guthrie "City Of New Orleans"..An ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR Classic.
One of my all time favorites from back in the day. RIP DR. IVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR THIS ONE 😔
The Late GREAT Dr John RIP, love this tune from the master. They actually created a Sesame St Character called Dr Teeth based on this iconic man, also this song was featured in the movie Sahara.
Keep safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶
A very unique sound and persona: he was there at the beginning with most of the greats in the 1960s and 1970s and beyond, and his influence spread far and wide
Goddammit. I suggested this guy over and over for months. He is an amazing piano player, and by far his best song is "Such a night ". You must listen!
That and "I Walk on Gilded Splinters". His masterpiece.
Don’t forget Iko Iko!
New Orleans artist Aaron Neville won a Grammy for his duet with Linda Ronstadt “Don’t Know Much”. The two are perfect together.
Lordy I love that song
To get that New Orleans feel listen to the Neville Brothers - Yellow Moon album from 1989, specially the songs "Yellow Moon" and "Voodoo". Before the Neville Brothers were the Neville Brothers they were "The Meters" and had some great songs in the 1960's including the extremely funky instrumental "Cissy Strut" from 1969.
You guys are in for a treat in New Orleans:
Couple paths to follow:
1). Old time jazz: Preservation Hall (it is a tourist trap but unique and a must see stop)
Live Rock Music: Bourbon Street: Fantastic very small enclosed venues. Just follow the music. You’ll be able to float down Bourbon and slip into 10-12 places where live music will vibrate thru you while there. Lose yourselves…have a few drinks and rock out on the dance floors.
Lastly Food:
Many great places…be adventurous and hit dives for local cuisine. Fantastic!
Hit Jackson Square at night and visit a few Gypsies, street musicians, magicians. Don’t skip Cafe Du Monde for some hot chocolate and beignets.
Many memories of time while spouse in graduate school at Tulane.
Cheers!
Yes... he was my friend. I helped open the first House Of Blues in Cambridge, Ma as well as Steven tyler's Mama Kin. He played BOTH opening nights. I loved him! I miss him and Leon
Such an iconic voice. The special is a little dated, but you can still find a duet with Dr. John & Etta James, " I'd Rather Be Blind. You will be surprised.🤘
I love Dr. John, and this has to be one of his best songs.
Back in the 80s I saw Dr John playing at the festival outside and he put on a show. And it was absolutely crazy how the entire danced and had a spiritual uplifting experience. Amazing. Even I was dancing. How about that?
You can't go wrong with any of Dr. John's tunes.
One of the biggest influence on New Orleans piano and songwriting was Professor Longhair, he influenced Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, just about any other piano player that came after him. He captured the heartbeat of New Orleans, he had a style all his own and he was a living legend. Just a few of his hits are "Big Chief", "Rockin' Pneumonia", and "Go To The Mardi Gras". He was one of many great musicians from the Gumbo State. Notable acts you can catch now are Trombone Shorty, and Galactic, who are incredible artists, you should react to them on your channel. God Bless.
Wowzy! This song has always been near the top of my playlist. Great for kitchen dancing and all around general fun. I was 13 when it came on the radio scene. Now at 62 I'm still doing the hitchhiker (dance move!) when I hear it. ♡♡
BTW, when you first reacted to Jeff Healey playing with a band behind him it was Dr John on piano!
The band on this song is called The Meters, they have played on a lot of artists records, and they have their own albums too. New Orleans music includes zydeco: Rosie Ledet - You Can Eat My Poussiere (You Can Eat My Dust) / Rockin' Sidney - My Toot Toot / T.K. Soul - The Zydeco Bounce / Weird Al - My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder
The backing band on this track are legends in their own right. They're called the Meters and you guys have to react to them sometime! So much funky goodness.
I'm from the UK, but I've been to NO three times now. It's one of my favourite places in the US. It's so different, full of fascinating things and the people are great. The crematorium tours are really good, but first just wander around the French Quarter. There are brilliant jazz bands on every corner. You can buy a beer or the beverage of your choice, and hang out just listening to them. Bourbon Street is pretty much a tourist trap these days, and a sleazy one at that. Don't bother, IMO. Check out Temperance Hall and Louis Armstrong Park where the first African American music in the US was heard (or so they claim!)
And Dr. John is part of that heritage. He played the best boogie-woogie around.
New Orleans is one of my favorite cities in America. The food. The music. The culture.
And you really don't even have to spend time in the drunk...I mean French quarter to find it.
And Dr. John is one of those top tier artists. More to discover, for sure.
Edit:
Some other Nawlin's music for you.
Professor Longhair (boogie woogie piano. A NOLA legend.)
The Funky Meters (OG funk. Pioneers of the genre)
The Neville Brothers (soul/R&B/ also part of The Meters)
Tab Benoit (Blues)
Galactic (New school funk)
Anders Osborne (rock)
Dirty Dozen Brass Band (quintessential NOLA sound)
I knew y'all would love Dr. John. And this song! He was a wonderful keyboardist. He died in 2019.
The musicians backing Dr. John on this song is the legendary New Orleans Funk band The Meters.
My wife and I were there not too many years ago. We love that city. Lisa actually lived there for a bit, but that was before Katrina. It's changed. However, as to your request, we all know about Bourbon Street, but that's not the good place. The really fun place - where the locals go - is Frenchman Street. It's what you're looking for. Another thing I'd recommend is taking a tour of a cemetery. The place we stayed hooked us up with a historian who walked us (and just us) through one. It was fun and very educational. I dont know about the temperament of the kids, but it's something to consider.
I enjoy your guys humbleness. Blessings to you both in the new year
EXCELLENT SONG! R I.P. Dr. John. Fun fact: He sang the theme song on the 90s TV show "Blossom".
He also sang the theme for Curious George.
New Orleans native..... so glad to see this. One of the greats that will be sadly missed. Saw him live at various places and concerts. SO good.
More New Orleans-themed music: "Walking to New Orleans" by the legendary Fats Domino. Also, Al Hirt was not a singer, but he was a legend with the trumpet and had a number of instrumental hits like "Java" "The Green Hornet Theme" and "Cotton Candy." His work on The Green Hornet is absolutely jaw-dropping. If you're going to New Orleans, both of those legends are worth a listen.
I'm an Englishman but, for me, New Orleans is the birthplace of some of the world's greatest music. If you like funk, try The Meters. If you like piano, try Professor Longhair. If it's jazz check out Tuba Skinny. You can't go wrong with anything from that great city.
The Meters were the backing band for this song.
The English have always appreciated American roots music more than most of us Americans do.
Malcolm Renneback (sometimes billed as "Renny the Writer") started writing songs as a teenager and had written HUNDREDS over a decade, before he created his "Dr. John Creaux" character and became The Voice of New Orleans. A showman among showmen.
You can see his concerts on YT, but unfortunately he passed a few years back. That said, if what they say about New Orleans is true, you might yet run into him down there, lol.
My suggestion for your next song is the positively eerie "I Walk on Guilded Splinters". Enjoy NOLA!
He was one of the great musicians of New Orleans and the world. I stole my brother's copy of the album Gris-Gris many years ago and grew up listening to Dr. John. Check out his piano work--tracks like 'Mess Around,' 'Iko Iko,' and my all-time favorite, 'Such A Night.'
While you're in New Orleans, visit some great venues like the Spotted Cat, Bacchanal, the Mother in Law Lounge, Tipitina's, Siberia . . . the list is endless :D Have fun, keep an eye open when you're out walking around, and enjoy all the wonderful music and food! NOLA is a great town.
Y’all got the moves! 🎶 Find a dance floor and let it rip! Dance like nobody’s watching! Just have a great time! ❤
If you guys would watch the 2005 movie 'Sahara' staring Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn and Penélope Cruz, and you will hear this song played among many other classic rock songs. Sahara is an adventure/comedy.
Loved that film! In fact! I'm going to watch it again! Lol
I was fortunate enough to see Dr. John in concert along with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band. Billy Preston was a part of that show as well!
It makes my day to see Amber light up and chair dance when she gets her horns & a funky groove! That smile could light up any MLB ballpark!
Louisiana native here. When you visit New Orleans check out Kermit Ruffins playing in a Louis Armstrong kind of vibe. He’s usually performing somewhere around town.
Dr . John was a phenomenal piano player and that’s not apparent on this song. You should listen to songs from his Gumbo album: Tipatina, Iko Iko, Mess Around, Junko Partner.
Also, Professor Longhair who wrote the book on New Orleans style piano.
I LOVE Dr. John! I tried to get a local live music program to get him to my hometown (they had, after all, brought The Family Stone, Melanie, Taj Mahal, Ritchie Havens. . .) Sadly, the program started going the way of "tribute bands" instead of the real thing and I never got to see The Night Tripper. Please check out Such A Night as well--the best version is this one that goes back to his roots that really showcases his talent on the piano, ua-cam.com/video/QO53Xu6TZBg/v-deo.html. It is not the original version that played on the radio in my youth, but it will certainly get you in the New Orleans mood!
Mac Rebennack, Dr. John.... the night tripper! I was lucky enough to see him play several times over the years.
Tom Scott's live album Apple Juice.
"So white and so funky" Dr John does the vocal with a killer sax solo by Tom. My favorite.
Dr. John is so cool & I love your reaction! Another New Orleans favorite who you reacted to once before, and considered the inventor of New Orleans rock & roll, is Fats Domino. Many historians regard his 1949 hit "The Fat Man" as the first rock & roll single. His rolling piano style generated hits through the 1950's & early '60's including "Whole Lotta Lovin'", "I'm Walkin'", "Blueberry Hill", "Walking to New Orleans", and so many others. You can find them all on youtube. A couple fun facts about him: Domino heavily influenced Elvis Presley when Presley was first starting out. In fact Elvis referred to Fats as "the real king of rock & roll" after a 1969 concert. When Domino performed a European tour in 1962, he met the up & coming Beatles, who later said he was a big influence. You can hear Paul McCartney emulating Fats Domino's style in the Beatles hit "Lady Madonna". Finally, in 1957, Domino stated, "What they call rock 'n' roll now is rhythm and blues. I've been playing it for 15 years in New Orleans". 🙂 You'll love New Orleans!
Listen to Flo !!! He knows!!
Thank you for reviewing Dr. John! His earliest stuff is Dr. John the Night Tripper psychedelic voodoo-inspired. His later recordings are more as a vocal stylist, but any era is killer. One of his most accessible songs maybe his version of Iko Iko. Thanks guys! You always choose such an interesting mix of music. Dr. John IS New Orleans.
If your going to New Oleans don't forget their motto " laissez les bon temps rouler" ( Let the good times roll) !!!
Mac Rebennack, aka Dr. John, was a member of the "Wrecking Crew", a loose conglomerate of "first call" LA session musicians in the 60's and 70's, and his work appears on recordings by artists such as Sonny & Cher, Frank Zappa, The Rolling Stones, Canned Heat, Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, and others. He also had a lengthy solo career as well, with this song hitting the top ten. Dr. John was the inspiration for the Muppets' Dr. Teeth, leader of the Muppet band, The Electric Mayhem. He had been awarded 6 Grammys and is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Two other great songs of his are "Iko Iko" and "Such a Night", the latter which he played live as a guest artist in The Band's concert film "The Last Waltz".
Dr. John did a fantastic version of "Season of the witch" for the Blues Brothers 2000 soundtrack, not that great a movie but a phenominal soundtrack. I urge you to check it out for a New Orleans playlist
His version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame is so good.
I was going to suggest the same. That version of Season of the Witch is just awesome, has that hypnotic beat going and all those instruments to pick up on and his unique vocals. so good.
@@sociald100 it's got a gritty, sassy sound to it that just makes you think of the bijou. It's truly a shame it's not better known.
If you want New Orleans & Horns you've got to do Neville Brothers Yellow Moon ! The Horns in that song will put you in a trance. Trust me!
Great jam from Dr. John. The 70's had another good doctor. Dr. Buzzard Original Savannah Band "Cherchez La Femme/C'est Is Bon".
One of my good friends, Herman Ernest, Jr.,RIP, was Dr. John's drummer and played on this track.
I live in New Orleans & have seen him live multiple times, he's amazing in concert!! "Such a Night" is another ya'll would love! He was a character & he LOVED performing!! His voice is UNIQUE!!
"Such a Night" is my favorite Dr John tune. I just love it, but I really like all his stuff.
They need to see the live version of "Such A Night" with The Band on their Last Waltz film.
Such A Night is my favorite of his. Love it! ❤️
@@kolchak3578 The Night Stalker!
@@brushstroke3733 Yes, love that show. Not many people know it these day. 👍
Nothing like some Cajun funk. Dr. John a New Orleans legend.
New Orleans was the only place I had never been but felt the sense of “coming home” after a long journey. The food, the music, and the history. I need to go back soon, looking forward to traveling along with your family. Enjoy her she is a fantastic and welcoming city. 💜💜💜
Besides being an iconic singer, Dr. John was a fantastic piano player. I had the pleasure of seeing him live and he was the real deal. Check out some of his instrumental songs such as "In a Sentimental Mood". Gorgeous!
If you want natives from New Orleans how about “ Harry Connick jr” ! He’s a “Crooner”, jazz and sings songs from the 30s,40s and 50s. Rod will love him.
Woah! You're gonna love it!
Sadly he is no longer with us, but, while in N.O. check out anything you can find on Mr. Pete Fountain. Huge jazz clarinetist and had a club in N.O.
Pete Fountain, beautiful memories of riding in my parents car in the 70's. Stranger on the Shore. My favourite.
Fats Domino is an absolute New Orleans legend you should react to. From the 1950s ,Sadly he passed away a few years ago. His famous hits are Blueberry Hill 9(his cover of an even older Louis Armstrong tune), Aint that a shame, and his cover of “Lady Madonna’, the Beatles song that Paul wrote with Fats in mind.
Not heard of this artist before, loved the song. Sad that he passed away in 2019.
Wishing u both a very happy and healthy 2023. ❤
Classic funky blues swampy rock song- so fun to see you feeling it for the first time. I know it was hard to stay seated for this one.
Try some Dirty Dozen Brass Band- saw them at New Orleans Jazz Fest many years ago. On a side note: one of my students quit school despite our pleading, to go busk in New Orleans. She's done well for herself and although she travels a lot playing with different bands, she claims New Orleans as her home. The street musicians are where the heart and soul of the music scene often lies in the collaborations of various talents. Enjoy the music and the food. Ask the locals for a local place to eat.
If you and your children have watched the Curious George cartoons then you have heard Doctor John as he sings the theme song. He was a great talent who played keyboards on many recordings.
Oh my goodness! We love curious George!
This funky music was typical for every police/detective TV show/movie of the 70's. Every time I hear something like this is brings up memories of Starsky & Hutch, Baretta, Streets of SF, Dirty Harry,...
You will find the quintessential New Orleans sound from the "Preservation Jazz Band" at Preservation Jazz Hall. If you are looking for more current music, see if the band, "Galactic," is playing while you are there. If it's horns you want, look for "Trombone Shorty." However, New Orleans is seriously the kind of place where you can just walk down Bourbon Street and hear music spilling onto the street then follow your ears when something sounds interesting.
I just listened to this album maybe three hours ago. There's magic in the air!
