'N'Awlinz Dis Dat or D'udda' was recorded at the famous Piety Street recording studio in New Orleans. Dr. John has been active in the music industry since the 1950s, when he was a teenager going by his given name of Mac Rebennack.

Over the years, artists such as Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Paul Weller and Supergrass have contributed to the Dr's albums, and his eccentric live shows have made him a living legend.
