Our Take

Professor Longhair's "The Primo Collection" is a musical smorgasbord of New Orleans delights, serving up a spicy gumbo of piano wizardry and soulful vocals. Longhair, with his trademark wild hair and flamboyant stage presence, was a true original in the world of rhythm and blues.

From the rollicking keys of "Tipitina" to the infectious swing of "Go to the Mardi Gras", this album oozes with the infectious energy of the Crescent City. Longhair's playful lyrics and infectious grooves are guaranteed to get even the stiffest of hips shaking.

The Primo Collection showcases Longhair's unique ability to blend traditional New Orleans jazz with blues and boogie-woogie, creating a sound that is as timeless as it is toe-tapping. Tracks like "Big Chief" and "Rum and Coke" are sure to transport you straight to the heart of the French Quarter, where the good times never stop.

If you're looking for a musical pick-me-up that will transport you to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, look no further than Professor Longhair's "The Primo Collection". This album is a must-have for any music lover looking to add a bit of Big Easy flair to their collection. So kick off your shoes, pour yourself a Hurricane, and let Professor Longhair lead you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
