As a New Orleans area native (Mandeville) this CD brings me back to my musical roots. It is simply outstanding. It's rare these days to buy a CD that is listenable from start ot finish, however this is certainly one of them. Sing Me Back home is frankly one of the better CDs I've purchased in recent memory!

This is a beautiful cd that I would encourage everyone to go out and buy! Play it often, and play it loud!! I've lived in New Orleans for 8 years, and my fiance is a born and bred New Orleanian (going back many generations). Hurricane Katrina may have destroyed a great deal of our city, but our spirit and the culture can not be crushed!

Wide ranging sample of the variety of music you encounter in New Orleans. Makes me want to walk down Bourbon Street again !

I was happy to find some NO music that also would help the relief efforts. A good variety of music too.

" ... ebullient, funky musical attitude that lets you know this music is from no other place on the planet than New Orleans. Here is the soul and spirit of a city that will never die." Amen.
" ... ALL PROCEEDS will go to ... providing assistance to musicians and other music industry people directly affected by Hurricane Katrina." Amen.

" ... New Orleans is a timeless place. Each generation, while grasping many of the fads that occur in their time, retains an essence that cannot be found anywhere but the Crescent City." --Branford Marsalis

America's greatest cultural, heritage treasure ...
