ÒTaken by Jean Buzelin from SONOÕs excellent catalogue (created by Gary Edwards) this is a wide selection of the music played and sung in New Orleans from 1992 to the present day, that is still alive in spite of Hurricane Katrina that swallowed up all in its path. All these titles, rescued from the flood, bear witness to the strength, resilience and unquenchable spirit of the people of New Orleans.Ó -Patrick FrŽmeaux
