Dr. John: In The Right Place

John Pidgeon, Let It Rock, June 1973

MAC REBENNACK'S situation is Jekyll and Hyde reversed. Mac took something and turned into the Doctor, split from his identity as a New Orleans songwriter/session man to Dr. John Creaux the Night Tripper, peddler of peace, love and magic.
