Earlier this year, Air Traffic Control released Dear New Orleans, a download-only benefit album for Sweet Home New Orleans featuring Steve Earle, My Morning Jacket, Bonnie “Prince Billy,” Wayne Kramer, Tom Morello, Mike Mills, Nicole Adkins and many more.

With the Christmas season upon us, ATC has specially priced the album and offered additional packages including a “Dear New Orleans poster” designed by Barb Bersche and limited to an edition of 250. Poster is 11″ x 17″ with matte finish.

As Richard Giraldi wrote in his review for OffBeat:

The album ends with six live songs involving Bonerama, but only one, “Mr. Go,” was recorded in New Orleans. The others, which include a dark and bitter version of “When the Levee Breaks” featuring Nicole Atkins and a powerful take of “Kick Out the Jams” with R.E.M.’s Mike Mills and original MC5 member Wayne Kramer, were recorded live in Washington, D.C. in late 2009. The perfect locale for a feverish wake-up call to remind politicians that New Orleans still stands.

The next Air Traffic Control artists retreat in New Orleans will take place this February. Watch OffBeat.com for details.
