“Dr. John’s Gumbo” is the fifth album in the discography of New Orleans singer and pianist Dr. John. Conceived as a tribute to the music of his hometown, the album was first released in 1972 and features a collection of cover versions of important New Orleans classics.

Dr. John, affectionately known by fans as “The Night Tripper”, delivers a strong setlist on “Dr. John’s Gumbo” filled with captivating songs that radiate good vibes and are seasoned with a touch of Southern voodoo: truly exceptional interpretations of New Orleans traditionals such as “Iko Iko”, “Tipitina”, “Junko Partner” and “Stack-O-Lee”, as well as contemporary R&B written or performed by artists such as Huey Piano Smith and Earl King, form the basis of the album’s legendary reputation. In 2012, Rolling Stone included the album in its list of the “500 Greatest Albums Of All Times”.
