Who doesn't love the slick jive talkin' wig on Treme? I had no idea he played piano on the Rolling Stones' "Let It Loose." Mac is the man.

this album was my introduction to Dr John. I used to think the Ewoks were playing the instruments on "Danse Kalinda Ba Doom". I also used to think the children singing for Pink Floyd were the lost tribe kids from Thunderdome.
