No idea.
I go out of my way to listen to as big of a variety of music as I can, too, so I'm kinda surprised I've never heard of him before.
Start with Gris-Gris. Be warned that it's not as straight forward as Right Place, Wrong Time.
That part was so great. Raucous and electric, like anything could happen, and then it just comes back to "Sssssssuch a night!"
The Van Morrison part gets going, too.
RIP to a legit legend.
Look at that smile. Who could resist. Even the count off is beautiful.
My parents saw him in concert and said the crew was trying to wrap up the show but him and the band kept playing even after the stage lights were shut off.
Damn. He was SO good. I knew him from my parents listening to him when I was a kid.
But man, there was this one time when I was in my early 20's and had just broken up with my girlfriend and went for a walk. I wound up in this small little bar in my neighborhood. Just me in a crazy bad mood on a Saturday afternoon. None of my friends were with me or anything. I sat down at the bar, got a beer, and just sat there. Then this song come on the juke box and I remember laughing at how awesome it sounded, and it led to my whole day turning around. I wound up playing some pool with some strangers who were sitting nearby and made new friends I still know today.

Man I fucking love New Orleans. That old woman at the beginning...she's amazing.
I hung out with him a couple times over the years. He used to go to Thanksgiving at the maple leaf every year (a local music club for those not from Nola) and he was a real treat. Just a fascinating character and pretty accessible.
A buddy of my mother's went to an NA convention in Cali about 15-20 years ago where Dr John was the keynote speaker and he had a copy of it on CD . Like an hour long speech about his history with dope and crime. He had started using around 13 i think. Grew up in a whorehouse and got married around 17 and ran one himself (with his wife) to support his heroin habit. Amazing he lasted as long as he did given how hard he went in his youth. He'll be missed. A true New Orleans icon
