Crescent City Musicians: Singing It Like It Is

NPR | By Marc Silver
Published August 28, 2006 at 8:31 AM EDT

In the year since Katrina struck, the musicians of New Orleans have struck back with their art, celebrating the city's life before the storm and bemoaning its fate. Throughout the year, NPR has featured their music on the air and on our web site. To mark the anniversary of the storm, we have chosen ten songs that convey their spirit, their spunk and their commitment to Crescent City.
