Flyin' High is an album by the American musician Johnny Copeland, released in 1992.[1][2] Copeland supported the album with a North American tour.[3]
Produced by Copeland and John Hahn, the album was recorded in Brussels, Belgium, and New York City.[4][5] Copeland used a Gibson guitar instead of his usual Peavey.[6] He duetted with Dr. John on the cover of Hank Williams's "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)"; Dr. John played piano on "Circumstances".[7] Buckwheat Zydeco played accordion on "Love Song".[8] Hank Crawford, David "Fathead" Newman, and the Uptown Horns contributed to the album; Copeland became fond of using horns on blues songs after picking up Albert Collins's band, in 1953.[9][10] Joe Hughes, Copeland's early mentor, also played guitar on Flyin' High.[11] "Thigpen (Cornball)" is an instrumental song.[12]
