Dr. John (Ronnie Barron) - Did She Mention My Name? (1964)

A friend played this wonderful NOLA soul tune for me recently, and I found it hard to believe it was Dr. John.  That’s because it wasn’t Mac Rebennack singing, it was Ronnie Barron. Mac Rebennack had come up the the persona of Dr. John, the night tripper, and he wanted Ronnie Barron to play the role.  Ronnie wasn’t having it, and the rest is history.  Mac did write the song, and there’s a  record which credits Ronnie Barron though it’s a bit faster.

Some people think they jive me But I know they must be crazy Don't see dey misfortune Guess they just too lazy

J'suis le Grand Zombie My yellow belt of choison Ain't afraid of no tom cat Fill my brains with poison

Walk thru the fire Fly thru the smoke See my enemy At the end of dey rope

Walk on pins and needles See what they can do Walk on guilded splinters King of the Zulu

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come Walk on guilded splinters

'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up

I rolled out my coffin Drink poison in my chalice Pride begins to fade And y'all feel my malice

Put gris-gris on your doorstep Soon you'll be in the gutter Melt your heart like butter A-a-and I can make you stutter

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come Walk on guilded splinters Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come Walk on guilded splinters

'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come Walk on guilded splinters (Repeat for most of the rest of the song)

Coco Robichaux Come on down to my soiree Bring your parain, your Marie, your Mamie, your Dondi, your cousin And the whole family No fine de cose bonne? La jovial la chandelle? Se la fais la carabas? Coco Robichaux Coco Robichaux Padre diablo? Gran come the bride?

With your Coco Robichaux With your Coco Robichaux

'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up

'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up, 'Til I Burn Up,'Til I Burn Up

Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come Walk on guilded splinters Come Get It, Get It, Come, Come Walk on guilded splinters

Coco Robichaux Dine at the soiree on the bayou...

In celebration of Nonesuch Records’ 60th anniversary comes Michael Wilson / 25 Years: A Nonesuch Collection—100 box sets of 20 newly created prints from photographer Michael Wilson’s Nonesuch archive, out tomorrow, including this image of Dr. John from 2012. "Dr. John (Mac Rebennack) dressed to the nines and holding sway on a balcony in New Orleans—what is not to be liked? His sense of playfulness on this day is the thing that stands out strongest in my memory. It is kind of an odd thing to meet and photograph people whose name and work are well known, because, in spite of any such knowledge, at the core of the encounter is the reality that two strangers are meeting and must look for a way into a conversation that is both verbal and visual and which will hopefully prove to be honest and interesting to others."

You can order Michael Wilson / 25 Years: A Nonesuch Collection  in the Nonesuch Store here.

#122: "Gris-Gris" by Dr. John, the Night Tripper (1968)

uhh, this record is fucking weird??? but like, good weird, not bad weird.

Dr. John is a character created by Mac Rebennack, who was a legendary session musician. the character is a voodoo healer, inspired by Mac's New Orleans home. as such, this record combines alot of Louisiana blues (apparently called Swamp Blues), and a lot of typical-for-the-time psychedelia, which blends together into a really strange, ethereal texture that was quite striking. all the references to voodoo mythology leave the record is absolutely dripping with atmosphere. really liked this record.

SUN + MOON + HERBS

From the golden art deco inspired cover through the fascinating story of a planned three LP magnum opus, The Sun Moon and Herbs is a highlight in the long career of the New Orleans legend ‘Mac’ Rebennack, aka Dr John, The Night Tripper. Blending the good Doctor’s various styles and influences into an ecstatic musical gumbo, the album pulses with voodoo power and sways to licentious grooves,…

REVIEW: Dr. John “Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya – Singles 1968-1974”

REVIEW: Dr. John “Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya – Singles 1968-1974” @omnivorerecordings @americanahighways #drjohn #americanahighways #americanamusic #newmusic2024 #grisgrisgumboyaya @aka_drjohn

Dr. John – Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya – Singles 1968-1974 This is a classic collection of a unique artist who has gone to his reward but left behind an impressive catalog. Pianist Mac Rebennack entertained with the persona of Dr. John The Night Tripper & he laid out some interesting New Orleans swampy rock-oriented songs with humidity & jambalaya hot melodies. Beginning with “Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya,”…
