Artist:  Dr. John

Title:  Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack

Date:  1981

Label:  Clean-Cuts Records   CC 705

Photos and Art Direction:  Thornton Daniels

Notes:  Dr. John is presented in all his solo glory. At this time he was already a musician of note and was held in high esteem, but it wasn't until this record that he was put on display in the spotlight without a band or accompaniment of some sort. He swings us through a swampy R&B ride made up of both originals and well worn classics. The cover portrait captures the mood of a man, a piano and a song.

Line Up:

Mac Rebennack:  piano, vocals
