This is American Routes, I'm Nick Spitzer. I was invited to the 2013 Americana Music Festival in Nashville where on stage at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, I had a chance to interview the recipient of that year’s Lifetime Achievement Award: New Orleans’ Dr. John. It was a busy year for Dr. John. He won a Grammy for the Best Blues Album for Locked Down, produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, and he received an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts here at Tulane University, making the Nite Tripper Doctor Dr. John in our minds.

Eddie Cotton grew up in the Church of God in Christ in Clinton, Mississippi near Jackson. He heard guitar-playing deacons and preachers. His father was a preacher who bought Eddie his first guitar when he was six with plans for him to play for the congregation. After leading the church band, Eddie went on to study music theory at Jackson State University, where he realized that gospel and blues shared the same form, and developed a sound that incorporated blues, gospel, and soul. He continued playing music in church, but pursued a career in blues, opening for Ike Turner and B.B. King, while sticking with fellow musicians in Mississippi and his family.
