Professor Longhair, commonly known as the Bach of Rock & Roll, created the standard set forth in blues music from the Louisiana side of the Mississippi Delta.
More upbeat, uptempo, and melodic than its Mississippi blues cousin, New Orleans Blues symbolized the joy of Mardi Gras, the spirit of persistence and perseverance, and the magic that can be had in having a good time after a hard day s labor (with some company, a good hot meal and a cold drink or two).
The re-mastering of Professor Longhair s historic work, not only helps introduce his music and legacy to a new generation but cements his time in rock and blues as timeless.
