WOW! What you are bidding on is a out of print rock 45 from MAC REBENNACK (DR. JOHN): STORM WARNING. This is on the tiny Rex label from the USA. First pressing, would sound great in a juke box!
Mac Rebennack is the embodiment of the rich musical heritage of New Orleans, incorporating rock n roll, jazz, funk, R&B and boogie woogie into his sound. Mac grew up in a world full of music. Several uncles and aunts knew their way around the piano and his father owned a small record shop. His first instrument was the guitar, with T-Bone Walker as his principal inspiration. Mac's guitar teachers were Walter 'Papoose' Nelson (who insisted that he learned to read music) and Roy Montrell, both of whom went on to play guitar in Fats Domino's band and died under similar circumstances (a drug overdose, in 1962 and 1979 respectively).
In 1954, about a year before dropping out of Jesuit High School, Mac began to get seriously involved as a player in the New Orleans music business. He joined a band called the Spades (later the Night Trains) and, through Papoose and Roy Montrell, he managed to break in as an occasional sideman at Cosimo Matassa's studio. Mac also started to write songs, first with Leonard James of the Spades, later with Seth David. The fantastic Jerry Byrne rockers "Lights Out" and "Carry On" (Specialty, 1958) are both Rebennack-David compositions. Byrne sang and toured with Mac's band until he got arrested on a trumped-up rape charge. Mac also claims to have written "Lady Luck" (under the title "Try Not To Think About You"), which was 'stolen' by Lloyd Price and became a # 14 hit in 1960 in Price's version.
