True to the source and an entirely devoted, walking R&B/rock’n’roll encyclopedia who walked it like he talked it ever since he was in short pants, John Malcolm Rebennack (known aliases: Mac, Dr. John, Dr. John Creaux, The Night Tripper) was so intensely fuelled by a thirst for music and everything else that comprised the freewheelin’, ram-bunk-shus-nus that wuz the renowned, crazy quilt music scene of his hometown of New Orleans that by the early sixties he had already played in a succession of groups as well as writing, producing and arranging countless tracks while simultaneously providing A&R direction for a string of labels from Specialty to Mercury. Dr. John truly had one insatiable thirst on, as though his constant supping from a most plentiful wellspring of rock’n’roll only evaporated instantaneously once it hit his burning musical brain.
