December 2010 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Dr. John is celebrated around the world as the living personification of the rich musical heritage exclusive to New Orleans. On this double album collection, he cooks up a unique blend that combines his Creole roots with blues, jazz, zydeco, boogie-woogie, and rock & roll. Originally a guitar player, Dr. John’s colorful career began in the 1950s when he wrote and played on some of the greatest records to come out of the Crescent City, including recordings by Professor Longhair, Art Neville, Joe Tex, and Frankie Ford. A notorious gun incident limited his career as a guitarist, forcing him to first take up the bass, and later concentrate on piano. After Hurricane Katrina bashed New Orleans in 2005, Dr. John initiated generous relief fundraising concerts, recordings, and angry public words of protest. In 2008 he released City That Care Forgot, which earned a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.
