The last cut, “2 Many Women,” is one the bands’ most requested fan favorites. The light hearted reggae/soul/funk tune touches upon the temptations associated with stardom and female fans.

Stepchild’s haunting rocker “Dark Waters, recorded right after Hurricane Katrina, reflects a somber theme of things that can happen at any moment, expected or not.

Billy Averett and his selection of “Football” a rockabilly song and one of Louisiana’s favorite pastimes.

• Blues/rapper Lee Tyme’s “Big Daddy’s Home” highlights a period in a man’s life when he wants to be more committed to family responsibilities
• The mid-tempo dance song “Bedroom Relationship” by Champagne confronts the issue of a love affair going nowhere

Henry Turner, Jr comments, “The music scene in Baton Rouge is very alive and vibrant. Nothing can stop it or our impressive talent. It is unfortunate that it takes a catastrophe to introduce our talented performers into the global market place. Everyone was eager to participate and show the world that we still are all here, the shows continues and we are survivors, not victims.”
