Dr. JohnThe Montreux Years
BMG – 2 180g LPs in a thick gatefold jacket

Dr. John, or Mac Rebennack as known to friends and family, is universally celebrated as the living embodiment of the rich musical heritage exclusive to New Orleans. His very colorful musical career began in the 1950s when he wrote and played guitar on some of the greatest records to come out of the Crescent City, including recordings by Professor Longhair, Art Neville, Joe Tex and Frankie Ford. A notorious gun incident forced the artist to give up the guitar and concentrate on organ and piano. Further trouble at home sent Dr. John west in the 1960s, where he continued to be in demand as a session musician, playing on records by Sonny and Cher, Van Morrison and Aretha Franklin to name a few. He also launched his solo career, developing the charismatic persona ofDr. John The Night Tripper. Adorned with voodoo charms and regalia, a legend was born with his breakthrough 1968 albumGris-gris, which established his unique blend of voodoo mysticism, funk, rhythm & blues, psychedelic rock and Creole roots. Several of his many career highlights include the masterful albumSun, Moon and Herbsin 1971 which included cameos fromEric ClaptonandMick Jaggerand 1973’sIn The Right Place, which contained the chart hits“Right Place Wrong Time”and“Such A Night.”
This 2 LP set captures him in 7 legendary concerts between the years 1986 and 2012 at the world class institution that is the Montreux Jazz Festival.
