Next to Allen Toussaint, Dr. John is the most important contemporary artist to emerge from the French Quarter of New Orleans. His trademark "Swamp Rock" sound is even more powerful today than it was in the '70's. It can only be described as good time music for one and all.
Nowadays Dr. John has relegated himself mostly to the jazz and blues festival circuit, but back in the '70's he could be seen and heard in the intimacy of a smoky Manhattan club.
