That was his most famous song, but not necessarily his most creative work. I have been a huge fan of his debut album Gris-Gris since I purchased it in 1968, and will say whether you like it or not, if you listen to it you can easily agree that is unlike anything you've ever heard before (unless of course you are from New Orleans and steeped in the culture and music). I find it mesmerizing. It was ranked 143 on Rolling Stones list of top 500 albums of all time.
