"Complicated Life"

We are proud to debut the music video directed by Henry Griffin of Complicated Life, a track from the release Made in New Orleans: The Hurricane Tapes. This song was originally performed by the Kinks and composed by Ray Davies. Benjamin Jaffe arranged the song in the vernacular of Preservation Hall and conceived this video which is a journey through New Orleans' French Quarter. It features guest vocalist Clint Maedgen of The New Orleans Bingo! Show delivering food from Fiorella's through the French Quarter and culminating at Preservation Hall where the story all began. Spread the word.
