Lagniappe: A Saddle Creek Benefit for Hurricane Katrina

Lagniappe was born on September 22nd, 2005: the result of our watching the surreal events unfolding in New Orleans and the greater Gulf Coast after hurricane Katrina. Old favorites, new faces and friends of Saddle Creek recorded these 13 tracks in bedrooms, basements, kitchens, living rooms and even a couple of studios. The album was put together in a week. All Saddle Creek and it artists' profits from the sale of Lagniappe are being donated to the Red Cross for their relief efforts.
