SUGARLAND "STAND BACK UP"
Atlanta country trio
Sugarland first made a dent on the country charts last year with the
single "Baby Girl." Their 2004 debut disc, "Twice the Speed of Life,"
continues to spawn massive hits. "Stand Back Up" is a quietly committed,
assured statement of resurgence, and it's taken on a whole new meaning as
Gulf Coast communities begin rebuilding from the ravages of Katrina.

THE VERY BEST OF NEW ORLEANS MUSIC (PAST, PRESENT, AND
FUTURE)
MSN Music has compiled two playlists that highlight the
rich legacy of New Orleans music, past, present and future. The first
consists of essential tracks from the birthplace of jazz, including work
from beloved artists like Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, Harry Connick Jr.
and the Neville Brothers.
The second highlights the catalog of Basin
Street Records, a contemporary New Orleans record label whose offices and
stock have been hit hard by the hurricane. The Basin Street playlist
features lesser-known artists like Los Hombres Calientes, Kermit Ruffins
and Jon Cleary. You may not know their music now, but it's just as much a
part of the fabric of New Orleans as the classics on the essentials
playlist.
