DR JOHN

Iconic American musician and unofficial ambassador to New Orleans, the legendary Dr. John (aka Mac Rebennack, Jr.) has
recorded his definitive musical response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on his beloved Crescent City. Titled “CITY THAT CARE FORGOT,” Mr. Rebennack presents a strong song cycle that has casually been referred to by some as the “What’s Going On” for New Orleans.
