Dr. John - Iko Iko (Live at Montreux 1995)

Dr John’s distinctive brand of “voodoo“ blues combining his inventive piano playing, gravelly voice and the pure essence of New Orleans has made him both a much admired and much loved character in a career that stretches over forty years. Dr John has graced the Montreux stage on six occasions. He decided that this concert from 1995 was the one he most wanted to see released in our Live At Montreux series. It is an exceptional performance and includes classic tracks such as Iko Iko and Right Place, Wrong Time. 1995 Montreux Sounds Montreux Sounds:  Mercury Studios: (if applicable) LIVE AT MONTREUX – MONTREUX JAZZ ARCHIVES This performance is part of the unique Claude Nobs Foundation audio-visual collection, included since 2013 in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
