Ask what was Paul and Linda McCartney's most important contribution to music, and you just might get the answer -- this album, which is also more exciting than anything Wings ever did. Professor Longhair's first live recording came about at a March 24, 1975 party hosted by the McCartneys aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. It captures some of the excitement that Ahmet Ertegun and several lesser-known talent scouts found when they came upon Harry Roeland Byrd playing road houses around New Orleans in the late 1940s. Highlights include the rollicking &Mess Around,& and the standards &Stagger Lee,& &Everyday I Have the Blues,& &I'm Movin' On,& and his hits &Mardi Gras in New Orleans& and &Tipitina.& The lack of instrumental credits prevents one from praising the lead guitarist by name for his playing on &Everyday I Have the Blues& and &I'm Movin' On,& but he and the rest of the band still do well backing this legend.
