Legendary musician Malcolm John “Mac” Rebennack Jr – known to music fans the world over as Dr. John – packed a lot of living into his 77 years, including a six-decade run as one of the most original, distinctive, and influential voices to ever come out of New Orleans. He was in the midst of recording a new studio album and planning future projects when his life was suddenly cut short in 2019.
Now, three years after his untimely passing, in a world complicated by COVID-19, Things Happen That Way will see the light of day. The album, which features three brand new original compositions, a mesmerizing reworking of Dr. John’s 1968 classic “I Walk on Guilded Splinters, and new interpretations of songs by Willie Nelson, Cowboy Jack Clement, Hank Williams, and the Traveling Wilburys.

Many thanks for posting this one, BT. The posthumous album by the late, great, Mac Rebennack. Sadly, also possibly the last recording by the drummer on this album, Carlo Nuccio. I've heard this all the way through already and its easily one of the best studio releases by him in the past 25 years (much better than the Louis Armstrong tribute recording). His voice is more ragged than normal, but it seems fitting under the circumstances. RIP, Mac.
Thanks BT! These new interpretations look very interesting. Thanks pmac for your thoughts. :)
Thank You very much Bluestender!
@ Bluestender:
Thanks for posting this - can't wait to give it a listen.
Interesting post-script: the lp was recorded over 3 years ago but is only coming out now due, in part, to Rickie lee Jones?!? Mac had her record vocals on 3 songs, but apparently, they did not have a signed agreement. After mac died, his estate and Jones could not come to terms, so the estate erased her work and re-recorded her parts. Man, you are risking some bad ju-ju if you crossed Mac once he left this earthly plane.
I read also that the new recording of I Walk On Guilded Splinters was completely redone with only Dr. John's vocals remaining. That makes me want to hear it before it was changed - I hope it eventually surfaces somewhere.
Everyone knew this was going to be Mac's swan song. He barely lived through recording his parts. How do you not just take being asked to be part of this as an unbelievable honor?!?
