"Louisiana 1927" all over again
Louisiana 1927 -- by Randy Newman

What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has
done To this poor crackers land."

1. Aaron Neville
sung this song on NBC's trubute last week. One of the most powerful renditions I've ever heard. I want that recording.

2. The NBC Live version...or any Neville rendition?
It's on two of his albums: Warm Your Heart, and The Very Best of Aaron Neville.

I'd guess the soundtrack for the NBC Tribute might get released as a fundraising effort. Not sure, 'cause I didn't see the tribute.
