50 years ago today (4/8/74), Dr. John released his seventh album Desitively Bonnaroo. Yup, that’s where the festival name came from. Bonnaroo is derived from French bonne /bɔn/, the feminine form of bon /bɔ̃/ meaning “good,” and French rue /ry/ meaning “street,” translating roughly to “the best on the streets. The good Doctor had plenty of Na’Lawlins funk delivered that has never been touched since on this swarmin’ album.
