Susan Cowsill's Crescent City Snow

[doctorj2u2]

Thank you Susan for your love of my home New Orleans. You either get it or don't get it. I am so glad that you get it, especially at a time when so many Americans were telling us to just let it go. As if!!!!!!!!!!!

[rocknjac58]

Thanks Susan...makes me want to go back to NOLA

[LJH70122]

She will be featured singing this song in an episode of Treme this season.

[VABkWrm]

@LJH70122 Glad to hear that! She is a remarkable talent!

[catahoula465]

This is an absolutely beautiful song!

[toddcharry]

How could anyone vote dislike to this masterpiece.

[pmoyer50]

I respect Susan Cowsill. She is a true talent who has survived many Katrina's. It is sad she lost a brother to this catastrophe. But she is a talent that continues on and God bless her. Many less talented individuals have been afforded fame not deserved which she has been warranted. Thank you, Susan Cowsill for persevering and giving us real music to cherish.

[vgr112261]

And you know, she is a very nice lady, along with her husband Russ.

[b1aflatoxin]

Great song.

[tdrtx]

I agree -- the best post-Katrina song of all.

You know the whole Cowsill thing - I grew up with that b.s. - on TV - but you know what I give her a lot of credit and am rooting her on - and wish her well - and yes New Orleans is a helluva a City - We'll be back soon - count on it!

[wendyluvselliott]

Powerful and Moving. I love Susan so much.

[62muki]

Great song...flashback at 6:00 -- There's a con man on Bourbon street who says he can tell you where you got those shoes, for a certain price. You play ball and he'll say....well, you got to go to New Orleans to find out :-)

[VABkWrm]

@infamouswriter He's still there?? I got taken inmy that con back in 1986!!LOL

[thesixtiesguy]

Wow. Great song Susan!

[kenmtb]

Fantastic-

Glad I listened!!!

[gootenslog]

Does Susan live in New Orleans?

[debheybud]

Yes, as far as I know...she does.

[gootenslog]

The most eerie shot was from when she was floating by the wharves....wasn't that where they found her brother's body floating? They found his body weeks after the hurricane, so God knows what shape he was in.

[shamsky4evr]

She sounds a lot like Amy Grant here.

[Nuerth]

For many Katrina will simply be a

memory of a terrible storm for those

like Susan who were permanently impacted

it will leave a lasting scar on the heart

It's wonderful she could set aside her

pain & share her gift

[stat1791]

Susan was born with talent and passion--this video is only one of her many crowning achievements. Thank you, Sue, for the gift of your talent; it means so much to me. The footage of Barry breaks my heart--I think of him and all of you often. You all mean so much to me.

XOXO Val

[uselessjoe]

Because her brother died in the flooding of New Orleans..................

[joeykhoury]

Susan, please record a CD! You've got talent.

[nolapas711]

Absolutely fantastic! I have just been introduced to her music.. i know.. where y'at?.. and I shall pass it on! WOW! love it, Susan!!!

[wendyluvselliott]

Susan Cowsill has, musically, always been worlds ahead of her time.

I have loved her for as long as I can remember.

'Crescent City Snow' is sincere and deeply haunting.

Susan is a legend.

[cruptbside]

NY1 else hear an east indian influence in this number. Amazing Susan didn't have a bigger career. She has a fantastic/raw/sincere voice

[Khultan]

Damn....thank you.

[stat1791]

This is a heartbreakingly beautiful song. I'd never thought to look for a video--it's beautifully done and Susan, no one sings like you; you are one very gifted lady.

[professor1966]

What a great video! I always liked the song, and now I like it even more! Very well done.

[tjunderwood]

I discovered this song totally by accident about a year ago while doing a Cowsills search on Google.

Very few songs have ever taken my breath away as much as this one. I was a disc-jockey for 20+ years and am a total music freak, so the fact that Susan's beautiful ode to a devastating time had this impact on me is quite something.

Hope you read these comments, Susan. I listened to this song at least 25 times in a row after first hearing it. It's haunting, lovely and hopeful.

[mgsgrl]

Great song. RIP Barry.

[tamarie49]

Beautiful Susan! I met you several years ago when your family performed at the Taste Of Rhode Island. I came with my friend Jane Ranum from MN. Thank you for this Awesome song and the glimpses of Barry. Barry stayed overnight with us in Grand Portage when he came North to do a gig in Grand Marais. He gifted us with his awesome CD. We very much enjoyed his music and our time with him. God Bless you and yours Susan. We look forward to seeing you in Grand Marais soon! Love, Tamarie & Stuart

[Janermn]

Hello TA!

This is beautiful isn't it? It's just a reflection of the person Susan is and all she stands for. We will have to have another Cowsill weekend in Grand Marais when she, Russ and band are here, eh? I think in memory of Barry would be fitting.....

[werd1967]

I am from N.O. and loved this video beginning to end. Thank you for touching my heart with this one

[LadyMadia]

A hauntingly beautiful song about a hauntingly beautiful city. Thank you Susan. Job very very well done.

[LadyMadia]

What a beautiful haunting song about our beautiful haunting New Orleans. Go little Susan!

[kahunaoflight]

It is snowing in New Orleans today..and Susan Cowsill kicks one out of the park!!

[drkatel]

LOVE THIS! Can't wait til the next time I see you Susan : - from Erin

[haltmusic]

Bellissimo!

[louisepalanker]

So beautiful.

[LilithoftheCaves]

This is such a beautiful work... The cinematography is exceptional. I really love this.

[nienaber1]

This video could not have been produced without the support of LCN-TV. They believed in it from the beginning and Deb Stein and Kipp Pierce made it happen. LCN has been steadfast in its support of music and arts in Louisiana. Thanks also to the New Orleans News Ladder. GN, Producer

[HoppinHill]

Beautiful moving video and song.

[cdkay]

Brilliant and beautiful. Susan, you have a gift. Thanks for sharing it.

[Janermn]

In a word, beautiful! Awesome job Susan and Russ and thanks for letting us all catch a bit of Barry was very touching.

[SPDanceCtr]

How beautiful...I started to cry when I saw Barry. A lot of love went into this video and the song. An outstanding job by all and especially by Susan who once again shows that she is simply, a gift to the world.

Heart & Soul

Jest we never forget

Beautifully presented in so many ways...

[Bajemea]

Susan, that was beautiful...just like you, hon! Thank you SO much for making that and putting in shots of Barry. You know it made me cry! But it is wonderful. You said it all perfectly. NOLA lives on!

[cherfan01]

Great video Suan and Russ!!! Your beautiful music means so much to me.

Love you both!!!

[connie0828]

Susan, once again you capture the heartbreak and heartbeat of New Orleans. Praise God that the Crescent City never gives up!

Love you always, Connie

[riverbluemiss]

Susan Cowsill captures the soul and sadness of Hurricane Katrina's devastating effect on the lives of the people of NOLA; ultimately reminding us of the resilient spirit of the city and the woman herself. She has been a diligent advocate - with beautiful artistry - of the need to keep on keepin' on fighting the good fight.

[mosse2007]

Susan, you are THE BEST. What a song, it's a forever classic and thank you for it. The video does it proud. Thumbs up to everybody involved.

[nienaber1]

Warrior of the wetlands..our girl and we love her!

[stratcat50]

Fantastic, Susan! Love Ya!

[kidbleau]

Residents of the Big Easy were astonished to see snow falling steadily on Christmas Day 2004, the first Christmas snow in half a century and the first snowfall in 15 years in the city.
