Bayou Maharajah introduces you to a New Orleans of a different time and a character as eccentric as he was beloved. New Orleans lost a little bit of itself when James Booker died, but unlike so many of the things that have been lost in the Crescent City over time, this film brings Booker back from the dead, and imprints his raucous, sweet, and sad spirit on our souls. if you're a fan of funk, rock, soul, rhythm and blues, this movie's for you. If you like characters so wild they could only be real, this movie's for you. If you like Dr. John, Harry Connick Jr., Deacon John, and more, speaking on behalf of rock legends, this movie is for you. This is a wildly entertaining documentary with an incredible soundtrack and absolutely not to be missed.
