His favorite work of mine is found on Dr John plays Mac Rebennack, vols I & II.
stripped away from the stage persona, stripped away from the heroin, stripped away from studio trickery, even stripped of accompaniment- his music is even more hauntingly beautiful.
How could one human be so extravagantly talented?

Glad I got to see him live a few times at The Swamp Romp.

RIP Mac.

A legend! Check out his 3 records supporting Bennie Wallace (Twilight Time, Sweeping Through The City, Bordertown), and his 2 Bluesiana Triangle records w/ David Fathead Newman (Bluesiana Triangle where the 3rd angle is Art Blakey, and Bluesiana II, where Art had passed but Ray Anderson, who also plays on those above w/ Ray Anderson) comes in)

Le grand zombie is finally gone. We are all poorer for it.

Condolences to his family, friends, and fans, he left his mark on the world. RIP Dr. John, you were truly one of a kind.
