Under a Hoodoo Moon: The Life of the Night Tripper

Under a Hoodoo Moon is one of rocks most original and infectious autobiographies. In its pages Dr. John the alchemist of New Orleans psychedelic funk tells his story and what a story it is: of four decades on the road on the charts in and out of trouble but always steeped in the piano-based soulful grind of New Orleans rhythmn & blues of which he is the acknolwedged high guru. From childhood as a prodigal prodigy among 1950s legends from Little Richard and Fats Domino to sesssions with the Rolling Stones and the Band; from recording studio to juke joint to penitentiary to world tours; from Mac Rebennack to Dr. John the Night Tripper this is the testament of our funkiest rock storyteller. Full of wit and wordplay tales of hoodoo saints and high-living sinners Under a Hoodoo Moon casts a spell as hard to resist as Mardi Gras itself.
