Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya....I walk on Gilded Splinters...Mama Roux. Man we tripped out on this shit back when that album came out.. We loved it cause it was the real shit and it put Dr. John on the map.
Many not familiar with it confuse voodoo and hoodoo. Voodoo is the religion and hoodoo is the black magic. Dr. John was a dj down here when I drove a cab in New Orleans, and he really was a gri gris man. Practiced it for years, and still does.
just thought i'd share a memory - saw DrJohn play this in Glastonbury a long long time ago...a an old lady in a black wedding dress walked through the seated crowd with a live raven on her arm...shear voodoo - kinda sticks with me that one
the song is by turns seductive, trippy, and creepy. and the visuals are perfect. despite their devilish looks, they make you want to go up on the stage and dance. awesome video.
Saw him do this live at the Fillmore West in 69 (carasel ballroom) Pretty heavy stuff from the front leanin on the stage. Very trancelike hoodoo voodoo. Still have some gris-gris in my hair
As I remember, this came from a taped tv production, maybe in connection with the cross-Canadian tour Mac did that year...I think that's Lana -- my ex-wife -- doin' the slinky dance in the center...
My, my ... but ain't DrJ the real thang? He does certainly have the groove going here. Anybody know where this piece is from? What was "Something Else"? That was some pretty intense video production for 1970!

Mystic Moose you are a fuckhead if you think this is good i mean Zoo Zoo my moo with your pig tail on??? what is this shit id rather go Hog Wrestling with my good buddies Vernon Cousinlove and Trey Wafflehouse
Mack was born & grew up in N'Orleans, he inhaled hoodoo with the air he breathed...heroin has nothing to do with it, the man is a nat'ral born houngan...and a SUPERB musician/singer/songwriter...And this particular song is one of his sexiest...
Your a DICK, DICKdonna, why are you on Dr.John then, FUCK OFF to a some American idol shit singers page, trash one of those no talent singers. Show some respect man.

There is nothing awesome about this. There is nothing voodoo about it either. Just a cuppla guys dressin' up and pretendin' to be scary. Just a bit a music. An'its ok too. Not great, just OK!
Thank you very much!! This is awesome!! I love Dr John's voodoo stuff. I still hope someday I'll watch a live show from the late 60's. Why is there so much mystery around that time (when Gris Gris, Sun Moon & Herbs and Babylon were released). Is it black magic?
True New Orleans voodoo mystique. Professor Longhair and James Booker would be proud. Through all the changes in music the Dr. has continued to produce great music, from jazz, soul, funk, rock, etc.
...also...silly cybyn
