Description

Remastered on 180g vinyl. Includes bonus track not featured on original release, Percy Mayfield's River's Invitation. Available on vinyl for the first time in over 20 years.

In the corner of the world known as New Orleans, Roy Byrd–Professor Longhair–looms larger than any other musical figure with the possible exception of Louis Armstrong. This album, recorded in 1979 and released the following year just after his death, marks his final recordings, and it includes a robust horn section, tight rhythm section, and Dr. John strumming guitar alongside his idol. The pianist bounces buoyantly through old favorites while adding some new songs into the mix. Fess's infectious vocals, jaunty ivory-tickling, and funky groove provide the ultimate soundtrack to the Crescent City and show exactly why the city has the reputation that it does. Take two mudbugs and call me in the morning. Better make that the afternoon. Late afternoon.
