Alive and Kickin' is an album by the American musician Fats Domino, released in 2006.[2][3] Proceeds from the album were directed to Tipitina's Foundation, an organization committed to preserving the musical culture and legacy of New Orleans.[4] The album raised around $150,000 for the foundation in its first year of release.[5]
Alive and Kickin' was Domino's final studio album.[6] He had intended to support it by headlining the 2006 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, but had to cancel due to illness.[7]
The album's 13 tracks were recorded at least six years before they were released.[8] Much of the album was recorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans.[9] The songs were written by Domino, aside from one by Bobby Charles and one by Floyd Tillman.[10] Domino's backing band included saxophonist Herbert Hardesty and, from the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, saxophonist Roger Lewis.[11]
