Dr. John

The last studio album by legendary New Orleans musician Dr. John: "Things Happen That Way" is released by Rounder Records Guests include Willie Nelson, Aaron Neville and Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real. Over the course of his six-decade career, Dr. John has embodied an almost mythical array of musical identities: global ambassador of New Orleans funk, jazz and R&B, visionary bluesman, rock 'n' roll innovator, one-time Top 10 hitmaker, self-proclaimed and massively revered high priest of psychedelic voodoo. On "Things Happen That Way", the six-time Grammy Award winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, also known as Malcolm John "Mac" Rebennack Jr. reveals another dimension to his cosmic musicality: a lifelong affinity for classic country & western music. "Things Happen That Way" is the latest and final studio album from an artist who remained completely unpredictable, transforming the charming simplicity of traditional country into a wildly enchanting body of work.
