Dr. John is considered the king of the psychedelic bayou - the hypnotic, mystical and powerful sound of the southern swamp
When he became Dr. John (real name Mac Rebennack), it was his session work in L.A. with the likes of Sonny & Cher, Canned Heat and Zappa that allowed him to develop his vision of guitar psych-pop that went hand in hand with his authentic New Orleans upbringing
His debut album 'Gris-Gris' was released in 1968 on Atco Records, a sub-label of Atlantic
The musical style on this album is a mixture of New Orleans rhythm and blues and psychedelic rock
The album featured Rebennack's character Dr. John, who was inspired by a supposed 19th century voodoo doctor
The album was taken under the wing of a small section of the 'underground' when it was released in 1968, and only found a real following years later
