| Audio CD Description Hurricane Katrina may have devastated New Orleans and surrounding Gulf communities in 2005, but it was also a forceful reminder of the Crescent City's world renowned status as the epicenter of much American musical heritage. This benefit album (all net proceeds will be donated to the local relief efforts of Habitat for Humanity, with a portion specifically set aside to provide housing for local musicians left homeless by the disaster) picks up that latter thread, a sometimes bittersweet reminder of how deepy ingrained, yet all-too-fragile, that cultural legacy really is. Allen Toussaint's succulent reworking of his "Yes We Can Can" sets a rhythmic, optimistic tone that parallels his city's own historical resilience, while Dr. John turns in a bluesy, laid-back "World I Never Made" that's a sharp contrast to the flashes of anger he showed on Tab Benoit's earlier benefit collection, |
| Comments From Our Customers
ream the consumer If you like this music - DON'T BUY THIS CD! If you care about the victims of hurricane katrina - GIVE MONEY TO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY BUT DON'T BUY THIS CD!!!
Great Jazz and Blues I was a little skeptical, ordering this sight unseen, but I'm a sucker for causes and the plight of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast moved me to purchase it.
gumbo of talent This CD combines such talent, spirit and music that embodies the energy lying within the moss-hugged, jasmine-smelling, voo-doo city that care forgot...take me home... |
