Professor Longhair - Crawfish Fiesta

Probably the best of all the many albums Longhair waxed during his comeback. A tremendously tight combo featuring three horns and Dr. John on guitar delightfully back the Professor every step of the way as he recasts Solomon Burke's "Cry to Me" and Fats Domino's "Whole Lotta Loving" in his own indelible image and roars, yodels, and whistles out wonderful remakes of his own oldies "Big Chief" and "Bald Head."  AllMusicGuide

Village Voice called it a masterpiece, the W.C. Handy Awards called it the Contemporary Blues Album of the Year. Dr. John returns to his guitar roots on this 1980 album, handling the six-string as the Professor and the band play "Big Chief," "Bald Head," "Crawfish Fiesta," "Red Beans," "Cry to Me," "In the Wee Hours" and more.
