Dr.John - Gris-gris - VINYL LP
About this product
*REISSUED ON BLACK VINYL!!! 1968 debut album from the king of the psychedelic bayou-the hypnotic, mystical and powerful sound of the swamp coming to life. As he became DR. JOHN (real name MAC REBENNACK), it was his LA session work with musicians like Sonny & Cher, Canned Heat, and Zappa that allowed him to start conjuring up his visions of guitar psych-pop to walk alongside his authentic New Orleans upbringing. While Gris Gris contains moments that make it a type stamped symbol of it's era, it might have well been made in outer space. Recorded in it's own psychic and stylistic vacuum, the album borrows as heavily from the New Orleans' musical culture in which he grew up as it does the looming continuous pulse of war, heavy drugs, and the end of the free love/hippie movement. The album was taken under the wing of a small percentage of the InchundergroundInch upon it's in 1968 and did not find a true following for years. Original 1968 mono mix sourced from the original tapes. Album Tracks 1. Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya 2. Danse Kalinda Ba Doom 3. Mama Roux 4. Danse Fambeaux 5. Croker Courtbullion 6. Jump Sturdy 7.

The third volume of the Landwerk series by guitarist, archivist and 78 collector Nathan Salsburg. After releasing three acclaimed acoustic guitar records from 2011-2018, Salsburg pivoted with the first volume of Landwerk in 2020. Alone on a tree farm in rural Kentucky, he put on an old 78 by the Jewish cantor Yossele Rosenblatt one winter night and was struck by an organ chord. He sampled it, looped it and began playing guitar alongside it. It was like Inchconversing with a ghostInch he told Uncut Magazine in 2021. Landwerk No. 3 contains six new compositions across two LPs. InchAmid a buzzing scene of solo guitarists, Salsburg feels both like a figurehead and one of it's most active players, with each new offering a bright step forward.Inch - Pitchfork Album Tracks 1.
