Amazon.com Fresh off his Broadway stint in The Pajama Game, Harry Connick went back to his New Orleans roots and recorded a pair of albums in tribute to his hometown. Released the same day as the similarly themed but mostly instrumental Chanson du Vieux Carré, Oh, My Nola is a loose, effortlessly swinging album that ranks among Connick's best. He traces New Orleans' prodigious musical legacy with well-chosen covers peppered with some originals. Though he wrote only four tracks, at least one of them, "All These People," is a stand-out--a mid-tempo elegy about the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, with a strong contribution from gospel great Kim Burrell. When it comes to the covers, Connick chose tracks that either originated in New Orleans or found particular resonance there. The funky, exuberant take on Allen Toussaint's classic "Working in a Coal Mine" that opens the CD reflects the flavor of things to come, but even more fun are the seemingly left-field picks--you'll never think of "Hello Dolly" the same way after listening to the version found here. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Product Description The single released on the one-year anniversary of Katrina on Itunes, and is the first single off Harry Connick, Jr..'s forthcoming New Orleans big band album, Oh My Nola, set for release this fall. In addition to well-known songs associated with New Orleans, the new album features several original songs by Connick that reflect on all aspects of this fabled and embattled cradle of American musical culture. All of Connick's royalties from this single benefit the New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village, a project conceived by Connick and his longtime friend and colleague Branford Marsalis. Connick and Marsalis serve as honorary chairs of Habitat for Humanity's hurricane relief program, Operation Home Delivery. Musicians' Village. Center for Music, named for the modern jazz pioneer and patriarch of the Marsalis clan who counts Connick among his legion of successful music students. Single Written, Composed and Performed by Harry Connick, Jr.. features Duet with Gospel Singer Kim Burrell Kim Burrell, a native of Houston, TX, is a Grammy Award ® nominee and Stellar Award winner.
