![Dr. John - Things Happen That Way [Ltd Ed Garden District Green Vinyl/ Bonus 7"]](http://morrowrecords.com/cdn/shop/products/drjohn_{width}x.jpg?v=1665515679)
Final Studio Album featuring Country & Western Covers, Reworked Classics and New Originals!
Over the course of his six-decade-long career, Dr. John embodied a near-mythic multitude of musical identities: global ambassador of New Orleans funk and jazz and R&B, visionary bluesman, rock and roll innovator, one-time top 10 hitmaker, self-anointed and massively revered high priest of psychedelic voodoo.
On Things Happen That Way, the six-time Grammy-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Famer reveals yet another dimension of his cosmically vast musicality: a lifelong affinity for classic country & western music. Things Happen That Way arrives as the latest and final studio album from an artist who remained wholly unpredictable, alchemizing the charmed simplicity of traditional country into a wildly enchanting body of work. It's a glorious farewell from one of the most essential figures in music history.
The first single is a haunting and hypnotic new rendition of "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" (which originally appeared on Dr. John's groundbreaking 1968 debut Gris- Gris). Country-rock powerhouse Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real joined Dr. John for the newly recorded version of the classic track. "It's a great honor to attempt to interpret the work of Dr. John," says Lukas. "His music has inspired me since childhood. He was a friend to many, and we all miss him dearly. His music is medicine."
