<b>Music Royalty Comes Together To Pay Tribute To Fats Domino On New CD: "Goin' Home"</b>

Landmark recording to benefit Tipitina's Foundation mission of saving the musical culture of New Orleans; Vanguard Records to release double disc set on September 25th

Icons from the world of rock, blues, reggae, pop and country music have joined together to salute the genius of legendary piano man Fats Domino for the upcoming double CD set, Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino.

Goin' Home is set for a September 25th release on Vanguard Records. This stellar tribute to one of the cornerstones of rock n' roll music will help raise desperately needed funds specifically earmarked for instruments to be donated to New Orleans' public school children.

Monies raised from the sales of Goin' Home will also go toward the rebuilding of Fats Domino's home and to create a community center in the Crescent City's still ravaged Lower 9th Ward. Proceeds of Goin' Home will fund additional community related programs.

The Tipitina's Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to preserving the cultural legacy of New Orleans through music education for the youth and providing programs that support working musicians of New Orleans and the Gulf Region, conceived and executive produced Goin' Home.

The roster of music royalty contributing their interpretations of classic Fats Domino songs include: Sir Elton John (Blueberry Hill), Sir Paul McCartney (I Want To Walk You Home), Tom Petty (I'm Walkin'), Robert Plant (It Keeps Rainin'), Willie Nelson (I Hear You Knockin'), B.B. King (Goin' Home) and Neil Young (Walkin' To New Orleans).

Goin' Home will also feature the late John Lennon's version of Fats' most popular song, "Ain't That A Shame."

In addition, some of modern music's most prolific artists have contributed their time and talent including Lenny Kravitz, Norah Jones, Lucinda Williams, Ben Harper with The Skatalites, Toots and The Maytals, Taj Mahal, Herbie Hancock and Bonnie Raitt.

Up and coming stars such as Marc Broussard with Sam Bush, Corrine Bailey Rae and Joss Stone with blues master Buddy Guy have recorded their renditions for this unique compilation.

The participation of some of New Orleans' greatest musicians has been paramount in the process of recording of Goin' Home. Dr. John, Art Neville, Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Galactic, Walter "Wolfman" Washington, Theresa Andersson, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Rebirth Brass Band and NOLA funk masters George Porter Jr., Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli and Henry Butler.

Goin' Home is the brainchild of Tipitina's Foundation executive director Bill Taylor. "The idea came to me last September when I was trying to come up with a way to thank Fats for donating the proceeds of his last recording, Alive and Kickin' to our Foundation. I also wanted to create a project that could shine the spotlight on our
city's unique music culture."

Kevin Welk, President and General Manager of The Welk Music Group, stated, "We feel privileged to be involved in such a worthy project. Not only is this a great cause, it continues to raise awareness to a great city that needs all of our support."

Taylor adds, "Fats Domino is the cornerstone of New Orleans music, which in turn became the bedrock for R&B, Soul, Country, Reggae and Rock and Roll. Getting him back to his Lower 9th Ward house will send a clear message to his friends, neighbors and fans that we in New Orleans are coming back and Fats is leading the way."

The line-up includes (subject to change)

- John Lennon -- Ain't That A Shame Dr. John -- Don't Leave Me This Way
- Paul McCartney -- I Want to Walk You Home
- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -- I'm Walkin'
- Elton John -- Blueberry Hill

After one of the Katrina benefits, the music channels were playing a clip of Neil Young doing "Walkin' to New Orleans," and it was spine-chilling. I hope this CD has that live version.

John Lennon? Kind of reminds me of that Carl Perkins CD, "Go Cat Go". They put an old recording of John's on that one too. It always seemed a little out of place to me. Still, I've been looking forward to this one. I wonder how Fats is doing these days. Does he get out to perform at all?

There was an article a couple of days ago in USA Today which featured a new interview with him. He rarely does interviews and he seems like a very nice and modest man. Apparently he had always been living in the most dangerous area of N.O. but was beloved in his neighborhood and would spend time cooking and having food with his visitors. The flooding destroyed that house and the neighborhood and he isn't getting the visitors he once did because of all the displacement, but he is doing the occasional show and seems to be pretty happy. You might be able to find that article online. I would try, but I'm a little lazy right now.

I am pleased to report that Neil's "Walkin' to New Orleans" is indeed the superb performance from the Katrina benefit.
