The purpose of the album, post-Hurricane Katrina, was to raise funds for New Orleans musical community, and to re-build Domino'sNew Orleans neighborhood through the creation of a community center in theLower Ninth Ward. Funds were also earmarked to supportTipitina's Foundation, which works to protect the musical culture of New Orleans and is an organization which was supported by Domino.[3]
In contrast to an earlier tribute album,That's Fats: A Tribute to Fats Domino (Capitol, 1996), which mostly contained previously releasedcover versions,Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino is (with the exception of the opening track, byJohn Lennon) composed of newly recorded versions. The album is critically described as "...one of the more remarkable tribute albums to surface in recent years...spanning the worlds of rock (Neil Young, Elton John, Los Lobos, Tom Petty), blues (B.B. King), country (Willie Nelson), jazz (Herbie Hancock), and reggae (Toots & the Maytals)..."[4][5]
