Things Happen That Way

As Executrix of his estate, Mac Rebennack’s eldest daughter Karla Pratt, was entrusted with the daunting – but keenly important – task of seeing the final Dr. John album through to completion.

“Though it’s very sad that my father isn’t here to see this project that meant so much to him finally be out in the world, I take great comfort in knowing that we fulfilled his long-held wishes.

During his lifetime he frequently stated his desire to record this album with his dear, lifelong friend Willie Nelson and Willie’s son Lukas Nelson as treasured guest artists – he felt having two generations would be very special, spanning past and future. Though he didn’t get to work with Lukas during his lifetime, I’m very happy to know we were able to make that happen. Another lifelong friend, Aaron Neville, lends the instantly recognizable, beautiful voice he always admired. We’re so grateful to the many musicians and all who contributed to this album, and I’m confident that Dad would be very proud of the final result."
