Still, though the context of the song is incongruous with the current crisis (it was written 30 years ago about a flood from 80 years ago), "Louisiana 1927" manages to capture the sense of otherness -- the duality of being American citizens but existing as outsiders -- that has been part of the South since the Civil War. This sentiment of abandonment in Newman's song has arisen again, this time in the sorrow of those blindsided by nature and left to make sense of the tragedy. -- Christian Schaeffer
