New Orleans is one of the world's great cultural crossroads, and children who grow up there are literally steeped in the music of the city. With its frequent parades, festivals and non-stop music-making, the sounds of the Crescent City can be heard in every nook and cranny. Charmaine Neville, a member of the famed New Orleans musical family, performs a version of the classic jazz parade song, Second Line. Another song, They All Ask'd for You, performed by The Meters, is known widely in New Orleans as The Audubon Zoo song, one of the first tunes New Orleans kids learn. And Lee Dorsey's rousing 1961 hit song Ya Ya is actually based on a popular New Orleans playground rhyme about waiting for somebody who is late. Grownups will also appreciate the range of world-renowned artists feat! ured on New Orleans Playground. From Clifton Chenier's Choo Choo Ch'Boogie to tunes by Fats Domino and Dr. John, these are engaging, singable songs for all ages. Kermit Ruffins is joined by a chorus of his own children on his tune Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Hack Bartholomew, a New Orleans street entertainer, ends the CD with a rousing version of the all-time favorite, When the Saints Go Marchin In.
