    Valoración: ESSENTIAL

Another essential album to be taken into account Longhair was one of the most innovative influential musicians from New Orleans, LA to Memphis TN He was and still is the real master, the true matchless designer of New Orleans rhythm and blues school, the one and only architect who synthesized the development of all musical styles that came to New Orleans during the thirties: blues, cajun, zydeco, dixieland, rhumba or even western swing or Mexican ‘rancheras’ folk songs Every single piano player of that style has been influenced by the Professor, from Huey Smith, Fats Domino or Allen Toussaint to James Booker, Mitch Woods or Dr John You will find real jewels of Longhair repertoir on this anthologic compilation entitled Do The Mess Around, such as Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Tipitina, Junko Partner, Jambalaya, Stagger Lee, Rum & Coca Cola to complete twenty outstanding songs Please, get immediately a copy!!
