Dr. John - Gris-Gris - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl LP

On his 1968 debut, Mac Rebennack transforms himself into Dr. John, the Night Tripper, conjuring a potent gumbo of Creole melodies, voodoo atmosphere, Mardi Gras rhythms and New Orleans jazz. Across seven hypnotic tracks — from the dragging procession of "Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya" to the gentle "Croker Courtbullion" — suggestive Afro-Caribbean sounds rule throughout. Rolling Stone ranked the album No. 356 on its 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
