The late New Orleans legend Dr. John will have his 2014 tribute to Louis Armstrong, Ske-Dat-De-Dat: The Spirit of Satch, reissued in a limited edition vinyl press. A day prior from the one year anniversary of Dr. John’s passing, June 5, the vinyl will be released by The Last Music Company worldwide.

The dazzling album features brilliant reimaginings of classic Louis Armstrong hits, including “What a Wonderful World,” “I’ve Got the World on a String,” and “When You’re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You).” The album also features collaborations between Dr. John and prominent musicians like Bonnie Raitt, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Nicholas Payton, Terence Blanchard, and many more, all contributing their original flair to Armstrong’s celebrated catalog. 

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dr. John stated “I tried to make the songs fit me the best I could. I hope I was always true to the music. I have no idea what the world’s gonna ever say about what that is. But you know what? I felt like I gave it my best.” Through his spectacular arrangements and collaborative interpretations, his best shines through this album. Dr. John’s love and appreciation of New Orleans musical tradition is felt through every song in this 13-track vinyl.

The limited edition reissue of Ske-Dat-De-Dat will be released on June 5. The vinyl preorder will be available soon here.
