CD Reviews

Live
traveler | seattle, wa | 12/01/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I saw them a few weeks ago in Tahoe, I have to say, this album is hot, but hearing them perform live, unreal. To experience musicians now, who sound better in person than on the cd, are few and far between. Great cd, songs with heart and originality. Love it."
Incredible
Gregory A. Rhoades | New Orleans, LA | 02/08/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just heard the cut, "Junkie Child" on the radio station WWOZ. (For those out of town, you can listen to great New Orleans Jazz @ www.wwoz.org) This song has a very nice twist with a local rapper turned big, BG. Also features Trombone Shorty who is absolutely incredible in person. The Neville Brothers will be touring all over the world coming up very soon. New Orleans is an incredible place. If you like this band, try Rebirth Brass Band, or Kermit Ruffins."
The Nevilles, hijacked by a hip-hop producer
Negril Jerry | Atlanta GA | 11/01/2006
(2 out of 5 stars)

"Bought this with no preview at all, I figured a newer Nevilles has to be fine, right? Wrong. I gave this two stars instead of one because I have loved the Nevilles for 30 years and danced to them at Tipitinas after the big parade at Mardi Gras in '78, so out of respect I have to give it a two. This album does not SOUND like the Nevilles, despite their signature Nawlins funk tunes and vocals. Their sound has beed hijacked by producer Milton Davis and replaced with extremely harsh and synthetic sounds that are impossibly grating to the ear. Even a nice organic pop of the snare drum is nowhere to be found, because the drums have been processed to sound like a tinny drum machine. Maybe I just don't get it and they wanted to be edgy on this album but - song after song - there's NOTHING that reminds me of the Nevilles I love, not until track 12 (Brothers). Harsh intruding synthesizers, trebly artificial percussion... no fun. I'm selling mine on eBay, not bothering to rip the tracks.



Get Valence Street if you want a fantastic recent Nevilles album (track 1 "Over Africa" is simply amazing), and you must own Brother's Keeper and my #1 favorite recording overall, Yellow Moon. Heck, I can't think of a single Nevilles album that I don't love - except this one. God bless the Nevilles...."
