Editor's review
Far from destroying New Orleans' musical culture, Hurricane Katrina has inspired a renaissance of odes from the city's finest artists (just look at the recent ubiquity of native son Aaron Neville). "Sippiana Hericane," a new four-song EP from legendary blues pianoman Dr. John, tackles the subject with the good doctor's characteristic mix of soulful sorrow and resilient spirit.
Biography
Having been deeply moved by the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, legendary offspring and pianoman Dr. John (Mac Rebenack) fondly remembers his hometown of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in this four song EP. Sippiana Hericane serves up his gift for storytelling while tying together the past and present musical styles and culture that are synonymous with the Big Easy. Sippiana Hericane is his most passionate ode to the city of New Orleans.
All net profits from the sale of the CD will be donated to the organizations involved in the relief efforts and rebuilding of New Orleans and the musical environment of the city including the New Orleans Musicians Clinic, Salvation Army and the Jazz Foundation of America.
