Every time I forget about Katrina and all it's horrors, when I listen to this song, it always makes me cry. I was one that got away alright, and I know people that didn't. Who cares about what he said at the beginning! It's a great song. Let's just remember those who were lost in Katrina, on the East Coast, etc. and be thankful that we got away alright.

First time I heard this song was in 1992, when I saw the movie ”Blaze” with Paul Newman which was releases in 1989. I loved the melody and it stuck with me until today. Didn’t know the title, and never reflected on the lyrics and what it meant. It wasn’t until today I found out it’s called ”Louisiana 1927”. Randy is a genius!

I agree, I've just recently "discovered" him (I'm 23 years old) and all I knew of him before was from comedic parodies (Family Guy, Mad TV etc...) which made me laugh, but his music, and most importantly, I think, is his songwriting. I agree that the simplicity makes it remarkably accessible while never feeling mediocre. He's really growing on me.

For those not musically privileged, Randy Newman plays Gospel just as naturally as Ray Charles did. It might not be the goal per ce but it comes out anyway and I appreciate it. Ray Charles was attacked for playing spiritual melodies outside of church. How dare you share harmony with the outside, I guess.

Sam Speed There were 2 different floods. One in Louisiana in 1927 and then Katrina. Newman wrote this song about the flood in 1927. I did cartwheels in my living room when I heard about Ray Nigen going to prison. Serves him right that he is serving time. Crook! The NRA has an incredible video of the police taking away peoples weapons and leaving them completely defenceless. It is chilling and needs to be seen by all Americans.

I remember Belushi opened up the show sitting on the horse's tail of the Andrew Jackson Monument in Jackosn Square.
