English term or phrase: crow for days

“Crackin’ Up” is a showcase for, what Rolling Stone Magazine calls, Charlie Watts’ “totally cool drumming” and Ollie Brown’s tasteful percussion. Ron Wood’s prowess on slide guitar makes the “Little Red Rooster” truly ** “crow for days”.** And on “Around and Around,” Keith Richards blazes a note perfect solo that may be his finest on record.

Je ne sais pas si je dois laisser l'expression en anglais ou la traduire (et comment la traduire).
A vrai dire, le sens ne m'est pas très clair.

Merci pour votre aide!

Il est probablement préférable de traduire et d'ajouter une note explicative en bas de page afin de clarifier le jeu de mots.
