Our Take

It's time to take a trip back in time with the one and only Professor Longhair and his collection of singles from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s. This compilation is a vibrant, energetic look into the early career of a true New Orleans legend.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you can't help but be transported to a smoky jazz club in the French Quarter. Longhair's unmistakable piano playing style is like a shot of pure musical adrenaline, injecting life and soul into every note.

The tracks on this album are a mix of boogie-woogie, blues, and a touch of that signature New Orleans funk. Each song is a mini-masterpiece, showcasing Longhair's incredible talent as both a pianist and a vocalist.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Mardi Gras in New Orleans" and the rollicking "Bald Head." Longhair's playful lyrics and energetic delivery will have you tapping your feet and dancing in your seat.

Overall, this compilation is a must-have for any music lover looking to explore the roots of New Orleans music. Professor Longhair's influence can still be felt today, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy. So grab yourself a hurricane cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Professor Longhair take you on a journey through the heart and soul of the Big Easy.
