Compilation CD

Icons from the world of rock, blues, reggae, pop and country music joined together to salute the genius of legendary piano man Fat’s Domino for his double-CD set, Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino. This album was created to raise money and awareness for the Tipitina's Foundation's efforts to replenish the one-of-a-kind music culture in New Orleans and the Gulf region, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Artists included: Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Robert Plant, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Neil Young, Lenny Kravitz, Norah Jones, Marc Broussard, Corinne Bailey Rae, Joss Stone and many, many more.

The CD was spearheaded by Tipitina's and Vanguard Records, and MuzakID connected this great cause with the Gulf region's largest Burger King franchisee, Strategic Restaurants Acquisition Company (SRAC). The CD was retailed in more than 150 Burger King restaurants and advertised through in-store and drive-thru promotional materials. Omni Hotels also supported the cause by retailing the CD in Omni Hotels' Morsels locations as well as making them available in the New Orleans-area hotels' in-room "Sensation Bars".
