PICK OF THE WEEK

Desitively Bonnaroo, Dr. John

This 1974 slab of New Orleans funk gave the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival its name. As a treat for the festival's 10th anniversary, Bonnaroo organizers have booked John along with Allen Toussaint and the Original Meters to re-create the entire Desitively Bonnaroo album at a late-night set this year. ?Brian Mansfield

THE PLAYLIST

USA TODAY music critic Brian Mansfield highlights 10 tracks from acts playing Bonnaroo this weekend.

Last Known Surroundings,Explosions in the Sky
The Texas quartet that scored Friday Night Lights layers atmospheric guitars on a constantly shifting instrumental.

Storm Warning, B�la Fleck & The Flecktones
Harmonica wiz Howard Levy returns as banjo-jazz Flecktones reunite the original lineup on new Rocket Science.

Jambalaya, The Del McCoury Band
McCoury's bluegrass outfit joins the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for a lively rendition of Hank Williams' tune.

Dimming of the Day, Alison Krauss
Richard Thompson's classic gets a gentle reading from Krauss on Union Station's new Paper Airplane album.

KMAG YOYO, Hayes Carll
Funk guitar master recruits The Bellrays' Lisa Kekaula for remake of 100 Proof Aged in Soul's 1970 hit.

Somebody's Been Sleeping, Dennis Coffey
Funk guitar master recruits The Bellrays' Lisa Kekaula for remake of 100 Proof Aged in Soul's 1970 hit.

Never Gonna GiveYou Up, Black Keys
Jerry Butler they're not, but the blues-rock duo does a remarkable approximation of Philly soul on his 1968 hit.

You Know I'm No Good, Wanda Jackson
The '50s rocker keeps her bad-girl fire burning on an Amy Winehouse cover from The Party Ain't Over.

Cry Cry Cry, Nicole Atkins
If your "love's a dark disaster," you could do worse than a breakup song influenced by Beatles and Motown.

Hot Summer Night, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals
At Bonnaroo, there's no other kind (unless it's raining, too). Potter will start with a Friday afternoon set.
