How are things progressing with the restoration of New Orleans?
Some of it has gone quick, but other parts are going more slowly. New Orleans is like a big garden of flowers, and the flowers will all come back, slowly but surely. The commercial sectors are already back, mostly, but for those of us who live there, for all the residential areas to return to their former beauty, we know that will take time. What can we expect to hear from you on March 4? You’ll hear a lot of the famous songs I’ve written. This is a great time for me to be touring because I have a new CD that I am doing with producer Joe Henry, and I am very excited about that project. It will be a very intimate setting, with no ensemble larger than a quintet. Joe knows how to get the soul out, and that’s a good thing.
