"We have produced the Louisiana Swamp Stomp CD to aid the funding of the The Northern Louisiana Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Foundation (NLBSCIF)," says Dr Paul McCarthy.

The project was inspired by singer-guitarist Buddy Feltt and singer Carol Fran, two Louisiana musicians who have recently had neurological injuries.

Available for $20, all proceeds benefit the Northern Louisiana Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Foundation.

The release date is October 19; please send us an email if you'd like us to notify you when you can purchase the Louisiana Swamp Stomp CD. Artists included:

Also, in conjunction with the release of this CD, a Louisiana Swamp Stomp Party and Concert will be held at the Petroleum Club on in Shreveport, Louisiana on November 19 from 8pm - midnight.
Tickets are $75 for one person, $125 for a couple, or $500 for your own table of 10 people.

As a person who's heard an advance copy of the CD, I can attest that it is a rockin' collection, an appropriate soundtrack for driving and for all types of parties.
