He's a pianist from New Orleans
who started off way back in the 50s with some of the old legendary blues and jazz dudes (despite being white), his solo career kicked off in the late 60s and his 'Gris Gris' LP was a huge influence on both the Stones and ex-Small Faces Steve Marriott's Humble Pie, as well as later funk artists.

It's kind of Voodoo music, really unique and very New Orleans - and ace.

I will go and watch him on your recommendation.

Why not YouTube him first - you might hate him.
'Walk on Gilded Splinters' is perhaps his best known tune.

Breakestra you should definitely like - they're magic.

they are magic indeed
I'd say Right place, wrong time is a better known Dr John song. Also great

I love Dr, John
I didn't know he was playing at Glastonbury. I may have to break out the ladders and camo gear to sneak in.
