Dr. John - The Gold Collection (2017)

Dr.John is an American singer,songwriter, voice actor, pianist and guitarist, whose music combines blues, pop, jazz, zydeco, boogie woogie and rock n roll.

Active as a session musician since the late 1950s, he gained a cult following in the late 1960s following the release of his album Gris-Gris and his appearance at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. He performed a wildly theatrical stage show inspired by medicine shows, Mardi Gras costumes and voodoo ceremonies. Dr.John has recorded more than 20 albums and in 1973 scored a top-20 hit with Right Place Wrong Time.

The winner of six Grammy Awards, Rebennack was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by singer John Legend on 14 March 2011.

Over his long career, Dr. John has collaborated with numerous musical giants, including Canned Heat, Mike Bloomfield, Van Morrison, Christina Aguilera, Jools Holland, B. B. King, Gregg Allman and many others.

This CD reissue features 13 tracks of the unforgettable Dr John, including Zuzu Man, Just Like A Mirror and New Orleans.
