Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Aaron NevilleFree Music Review: Fine, Almost Complete Overview Hit: 4 StarsThis CD covers Neville's A&M solo albums and throws in 3 ringers: His hit duet with Linda Ronstadt ("Don't Know Much") and 2 classic solo sides from the 60's (both of which sound great and are the original cuts). There's also a fine cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" from the Neville Brother's album Yellow Moon, and a selection from Rob Wasserman's Duets album. What's missing are the records Aaron made after "Tell It Like It Is" from the late 60's and mid 70's. For that I strongly recommend Rounder Records superb "My Greatest Gift" - The Classic Aaron Neville. As an overview of his A&M years this is good, indeed. Tracks like his covers of "The Grand Tour" and "Lousiana 1927" show his taste in great songs. And ballads like "Betcha By Golly Wow" and "Warm Your Heart" are carried along by his incredible voice. Good liner notes and excellent sound. If you're just getting in to Aaron Neville's solo career this is the best collection out there.
Free Music Review: Everybody Plays The Fool...But you don't have to be one! Hit: 2 StarsSuch a disappointment. I purchased this CD with the expectation that Track #4 "Don't Take Away My Heaven," would be the single/radio airplay version that was released in 1992 instead of the original CD version that appears on his album. I specifically bought this CD in hopes of having the radio mix...but alas, as Aaron sings, "Everybody plays the fool," and boy was I the fool this time...so be weary that the non-radio/single remix of "Don't Take Away My Heaven" appears on this disappointing CD. Unhappy in New Orleans :(
Free Music Review: Aaron Neville's voice is the instrument of an angel! Hit: 5 StarsRich in God blessed talent! During the holidays I caught a Christmas special where Aaron Neville captivated me. The song was sweet and sexy about a kiss, I watched him and was like WOW! Just purchased "The Very Best of Aaron Neville" album for a long car ride. What great classic songs done by the voice of an angel. The instrumental is great but his voice becomes the instrument. Such a gift! I loved the classics but truthfully song 17, "TO MAKE ME WHO I AM", moved me to tears. It is insightful, honest and heartwrentching. As a book publisher and author, I am curious if they debated over this one meaning the exposing of this artist? When we live in a society that only wishes to show the commercially bought into package, Neville risks/reveals himself and hits a cord in the humanity of us all. I share this song with those I care deeply for, and then switch gears and dance to the classic "YOU NEVER CAN TELL". It is absolutely beautiful!
