What happens when big hearted Texans open their recording studios to musicians evacuated from hurricane Katrina? A great CD with 16 tracks from different artists, half of the artists are from New Orleans and half are from Texas. Everything on this CD was donated from the studio time to the publishing to the graphics. Many of these songs were written after Katrina, reflecting different stages of emotion relating to the dealing with Katrina.

New Orleans artists John Autin, Jonno, Bart Ramsey, Rockin' Jake, Greg Finsley, Cool Bone, Ken Jameson and Big Daddy O’ are joined by Texas artists B & The Buzz, Kenny Traylor, Crawfish, Dennis Cavalier, Nitzinger and D.O.M. w/ Buddy Whittington. “FROM THE LONE STAR TO THE GULF COAST“ is a heartfelt gift from the Texas musicians and music business professionals to the Gulf Coast musicians that were victims of the catastrophe. All proceeds will be donated to the Tipitina’s Foundation to help Gulf Coast musicians rebuild their lives.

King and James Brown. Kenny Traylor has played with many big name artists including Ben E. King, Sam & Dave and Johnnie Taylor.
