Professor Longhair | Crawfish Fiesta | Album

Crawfish Fiesta is widely considered one of the strongest albums by Henry Roeland Byrd, better known as Professor Longhair. Recorded in 1979 at Sea-Saint Studios in New Orleans, it stands as his final studio album. Tragically, the blues legend passed away from a heart attack at age 61 on January 30, 1980—the very day the album began shipping. Released by Alligator Records, the record is not a somber farewell. It is a triumphant, high-energy celebration of the unique rumba-blues piano style he invented.
