Leadershift: The 11 Essential Changes Every Leader Must Embrace Book by Dr John Maxwell

A star-studded and diverse list of performers is featured on this live concert celebration of Dr. John's life and career, ranging from Bruce Springsteen and John Fogerty to Mavis Staples, Aaron Neville and Widespread Panic all playing for and with the man of honour, Dr. John "Mac" Rebennack. Recorded at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans in May 2014, the album includes 22 songs written or popularized by Dr. John during his prolific six-decade career, a powerful testament to the far-ranging influence and indomitable spirit of the iconic New Orleans singer, composer and musician.

Although he didn't become widely known until the 1970s, Dr. John had been active in the music industry since the late '50s, when the teenager was still known as Mac Rebennack. A formidable boogie and blues pianist with a lovable growl of a voice, his most enduring achievements fused with New Orleans R&B, rock, and Mardi Gras craziness to come up with his own brand of "voodoo" music.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and six-time GRAMMY-winner Dr. John is New Orleans' most prominent living musical icon. The embodiment of his hometown's freewheeling creative spirit and multiple musical traditions, he's built a visionary, idiosyncratic body of work that's deeply rooted in the Crescent City's myriad Blues, R&B, Jazz and Rock 'N' Roll traditions. So it's fitting that Dr. John's debut on Concord Records, "Ske-Dat-De-Dat…The Spirit Of Satch", pays heartfelt tribute to another larger-than-life New Orleans legend: the seminal trumpeter and vocalist Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong, whose musical innovations created the template for 20th-century jazz, and whose playful attitude and life-embracing spirit made him a beloved figure whose worldwide appeal transcended music.

Dr. John's biggest chart hits All A & B Sides from US and UK singles between 1968-1974.
Dr. John is often thought of either as an album artist or a session man, not as a musician whose medium is singles. Omnivore's 2015 compilation The Atco/Atlantic Singles 1968-1974 throws a curve to that notion, collecting the As and Bs he released on Atco/Atlantic during the height of his stardom. During this time, he sprawled out on such spooky platters as Gris-Gris but within a few years he streamlined his New Orleans funk and wound up with a genuine Top Ten hit in "Right Place Wrong Time." Both extremes are sampled here and unlike Rhino's 1995 compilation The Very Best of Dr. John, this proceeds in a chronological fashion so it's possible to hear Mac Rebennack shed the Big Easy psychedelia for smooth, rolling funk. Mac certainly did more than what can be heard in these 22 tracks – his latter-day recordings illustrated the depth of his reach, his early singles hit harder, and the full Atco/Atlantic albums show his mastery of mood – but this collection illustrates just how smart his development of the Dr. John persona was and hints at all the good music he made.
