Professor Longhair - She Ain't Got No Hair

ORIGINATION Honky Soul, Race Music, Hard Bop & Anachronic Jazz (v/a)
LAST LISTENED TO last week
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT ok-ish
RATING

Down-home, piano-led rhythm 'n' blues from New Orleans, that was recorded more than 50 years ago. There's not much to it. The Professor signs and tinkles his ivories, with the accompaniment of some simple drums and a little backing vocals. It's about the wife of a friend of his who, well, ain't got no hair. Looka there! It would appear that having no hair is a bad thing.
