For those who are R&B fans, especially the New Orleans sound of Allen Toussaint, the Meters, etc, check out the Neville brothers new album, "Neville-ization". I bought it after reading an article about them in Downbeat. The album is really hot!! The bros are all in their late thirties or early 40's and have been playing professionally for about 30 years, you may remember Aaron with a hit in '66, "Tell It Like It Is".

YES INDEEDIE, I was down at the Mardi-Gras in February and had the pleasure of seeing the Nevielle Brothers twice... Two shows I won't soon forget. I think I just might have to find/purchase that little gem! Thanks for the tip, Joe MacDougald

I've seen the Neville Brotherds many times, the most recent being several times at the New Orleans Jazz and Hertiage Festival last week. They are even better in concert than on vinyl. Lately their closing number has been Aaron singing "Amazing Grace" upon which everyone comes in for a chorus of "Amen" ending with "Down by the Riverside". In addition to the Neville-lization LP, check out their first LP "Fiyo on the Bayou" (on Warner Brothers i think). I was told they have a new LP in the works, no label yet. Also, if u like this kind of music, check the LP by The Wild Thocpalolias (sp). They only have one LP. They were a Madri Gras Indian tribe led by Chief Bo Dillis, the Neville Bros. uncle. The Neville Bros. all play and sing on this LP too. BTW I saw Allan Toussaint perform several times at the festival. If you get a chance see him in concert, do so. He puts on a great show too, with full horn section and backup singers.
