When the BP oil spill threatened to destroy the gulf coast, a group of renowned musicians gathered in New Orleans for a benefit concert. It’s unofficial anthem was “It Ain’t My Fault” by Mos Def; written and recorded in a single (very long) night with help from Lenny Kravitz, Trombone Shorty and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
The results reflect the heartfelt emotion, exasperation and anger of the situation without abandoning the inimitably funky New Orleans spirit that has helped this great American city survive everything that’s been thrown it’s way.
