CD Liner Notes
For those of us living in or near New Orleans or the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Katrina is the event that divides our lives, forever, into what came before, and what comes after. We have learned that living in the aftermath is not about the event, but rather our response to it: and so amidst the tragedies of lives, homes, and jobs lost or irretrievably altered, we find hope, faith, plans, and good fellowship. Amidst tears, we see the iron-jawed resolution to rebuild.
Artists have responded as well -- inevitably, since art draws its inspirational strands from the fabric of our life and times. Some of the songs on this album were written in the wake of Katrina by artists who, each in their own way, lived it. Their songs are a comfort, even if some of them move us to tears. Tears, after all, are cathartic and healing; we've learned that, too. Other songs here are simply about home, but their inclusion is more than appropriate. They affirm that even in the aftermath life goes on, artists still work, and nothing will stop the music.
