Customer Reviews:

Best of the Fess.......2007-02-14

This album is the best by Professor Longhair and The Fess is one of the best. Call his Style what you will: blues boggie woggie, blackability, Blues Gumbo or just plain good the Fes rocks. This album has an intersting history. Recorded by a French label it was over ten years before it was released state-side. This is the only album that The Fess recorded with Clarence Gatemouth Brown on guitar. The album is excellent, production quality is high, backing band is very good, and the Fess is amazing both on the keyes and vocally. If you like blues, piano, Orleans jazz, all the above - buy this album.

The best album by Professor Longhair........2007-02-04

This album is by far the best Professor Longhair album on the market today. This is based on the fact that George Winston and Dancing Cat Records, have put in the time and effort to ensure a A+ recording. There are others version of the same songs out there by this master of the NO piano, however the sonic of them do not compare to this one. Thank you Mr. Winston. You have given this great musican a testiment that is worth it grain in salt.

Best Quality Professor.......2005-08-31

I own every Professor Longhair CD that I can find - and this one has - by far - the best sound quality!!!

That makes it the one to chose if you are new to the Professor, or want to introduce others...

Great Sound - and most of his best songs...

Excellent Quality.......2003-03-22

Very impressed with the sound quality and performance. If this album does not make you smile and rock, you must be in a coma.

The Girls Call Him Little Old Lovin' Man.......2002-01-04

This is the album that got Profesor Longhair back into the spotlight of the New Orleans musical scene. He'd been a popular bandleader years before, but had landed on hard times. The producers of this collection heard he was still around and found him working for minimum wage sweeping floors. They swept him away, helped him put together a band and this classic album resulted.
