Carencro is the major label debut of Louisiana musician Marc Broussard.

The album was released by Island Records on August 3, 2004.

The album title pays tribute to the musician's hometown of Carencro, Louisiana.

The song's music video, showing masses of people stuck in a traffic jam on the highway, seemed appropriate to depict displaced people fleeing New Orleans.

It was originally just sent out to pop radio stations, but it crossed over into country radio, with the video eventually being added to Country Music Television (CMT).
