Recorded in New York City in 1981 and 1982, Frankie & Johnny captures Dr. John — the legendary New Orleans pianist and vocalist born Mac Rebennack — in a rootsy, intimate setting. Rooted in New Orleans R&B, the album showcases his deep connection to the musical traditions of his hometown, blending soul, funk, and the timeless sounds of the Crescent City.
Now available on vinyl through Sundazed Music, Frankie & Johnny is a welcome opportunity to experience this previously obscure session in the format it deserves. With track titles like "Gentilly Boulevard" and "The Pontchar Train," the album is steeped in the geography and spirit of New Orleans, making it a compelling listen for fans of Dr. John and lovers of authentic American roots music alike.
