The newly recorded Our New Orleans benefit album showcases the depth, richness, and profound musicality of that unique city. Some of New Orleans' best-known musicians, from across genre lines, have recorded songs that express their feelings about their beloved hometown. Artists went into studios around the country for one-day sessions, completing all recording over the span of a month.

Other Crescent City contributors include Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Ford and Nick Spitzer, host of public radio's New Orleans-based show American Routes - both of whom contributed liner notes. Net proceeds from the sale of Our New Orleans will be donated to Habitat for Humanity International to aid those affected by the recent hurricanes along the gulf coast. A portion of those funds will be earmarked to help provide housing for musicians who lost their homes.
