Marcia Ball, "Louisiana 1927".

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 Plaquemine
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

CHORUS
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' 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

I'm sure she didn't expect history to repeat when she recorded that song in 1997, but it did. While history never repeats precisely, it's close enough. Marcia's music mixes New Orleans R&B plus swamp blues into her own special "Louisiana Gumbo". When you hear her music you wanna go crawfishin, she celebrates everything that's Louisiana.

At this time, my heart goes out to all of the tragedy ridden people of Louisiana.
