"Mac" Rebennack, Jr. aka Dr. John BY JORDAN MAINZER The only thing weirder than seeing a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in normal clothes is seeing a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who normally wears a headdress in normal clothes. On April 17, I was lucky enough to speak to Mac Rebennack, Jr., better known by his stage moniker Dr. John, after his show at SPACE Evanston. The short experience flew by: whether that was a result of a couple Goose Island brews and a 10 dollar black [...]

You think these ladies are ready for spring break? Editor's note: Since the cold weather has doubled down on the country, thought we'd do the same thing with our warm recipes. Today, a reblog of a recent item on Louisiana gumbo. Ooh, baby, it’s cold outside! In Texas that means it’s about 53 degrees, and a warm front is going to blow back from the Gulf tomorrow, kickin’ everything up to about 75. Hey, we take what winter we can get. Anyway, let’s dig out a deep pot and make some gumbo [...]
Did you catch Dr. John's freaky getup during the Black Keys' appearance at the Grammy Awards? Mac Rebbenack, in his guise as "Dr. John the Night Tripper" has always been one sorta strange cat - his records in the late 1960s were pretty bizarre and when you consider the period, that's saying a lot. But Dr. John is probably the king of New Orleans piano players (Art Neville notwithstanding) right now. In this video Dr. John, the Meters and Earl King lay down a funky slab of Crescent City, in the form of "Big Chief," the tune popularized [...]
A noite da diversidade nos prêmios e nos shows. O Grammy Awards , em sua 55ª edição, procurou agradar todos estilos, mas ao contrário do ano passado em que trouxe um elenco de peso que contava do Paul McCartney , Bruce Springstee n, Beach Boys e tantos outros, a festa preferiu mostra que não só de medalhões se faz a música. Com nomes que buscam refrescar o cenário como Frank Ocean , Mumford & Sons , fun. , e Black Keys , a festa até pode ser um teste de resistência [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Awards JOHN SHEARER/INVISION/AP It's Monday, and another Grammys having come and gone. Like every year, there were standout moments, a lot of forgettable ones and a handful that just left us scratching our heads. Of those three categories, the latter is the one we're most interested in, because we were pretty bored last night and we want to have fun today. So, below, check out photos and videos from the weirdest moments [...]

Dr. John did his Dr. John thing last night to a packed house at Jazz Alley. Not sure if he’s sold out for the weekend or not; if it isn’t, definitely worth checking this legend Friday or Saturday. He’s playing with an all new band of top notch players that are funky as hell. Dr. John shuffled out rocking a purple suit, sun glasses and a tooth necklace. Swapped all evening between a Nord keyboard and a grand piano (with a skull on it) doing his signature stride sound with signature singing, including weird Dr. John voodoo [...]
The ladies look like they are pretty cold. Ooh, baby, it’s cold outside! In Texas that means it’s about 53 degrees, and a warm front is going to blow back from the Gulf tomorrow, kickin’ everything up to about 75. Hey, we take what winter we can get. Anyway, let’s dig out a deep pot and make some gumbo today. Gumbo is, of course, that stew-like dish popular in South Louisiana and crummy restaurants across the country. Although it apparently originated in New Orleans, gumbo is most closely associated with the Cajuns of South Louisiana – [...]
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 1 (100-51) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]
