Dr John – Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya: Singles 1968-1974 (2-LP Vinyl)

Mac Rebennack spent years as one of New Orleans' most in-demand session men before Dr. John the Night Tripper emerged fully formed on 1968's *Gris-Gris*, conjuring a sound rooted in Crescent City voodoo, Second Line tradition, and psychedelic swamp funk that had no real precedent. This singles collection traces the arc of his early Atlantic years, capturing a musician who carried the DNA of Professor Longhair and Huey "Piano" Smith into territories entirely his own.
