After we finished our version, we heard this space and we said, "Man, you know what would be nice on this record? A Stevie Wonder harmonica solo!" Then we also have people like Jack Ashford from the Funk Brothers who plays percussion, tambourine, vibes.and we have Paul Riser who did a lot of string (arrangements) for Motown. I thought we should do something with this record, so we ended up putting Rebirth on it ("Big Easy"), and that's how that came up. I love Second Line bands and marching bands, so a friend hooked me up with Young Spodie and we became good friends. The Rebirth Band was on a song about Katrina, and so I titled the song "Big Easy" because I had friends who lived there and my family's from Louisiana.

RS: Joss Stone came because I worked on her record Introducing Joss Stone.
