Editorial Review:
Possessor of one of contemporary music's most instantly recognizable voices, Aaron Neville has a recording career that spans nearly 40 years. While he started out as a bona fide purveyor of New Orleans-flavored R&B in the '60s, Neville has added his distinctive styling to pop fare in more recent years. Miraculously, even though he's recorded a diverse range of material--from Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" to a cover of the Originals' classic "The Bells"--Neville has lost none of his innate soulfulness. At last, there's a complete compilation that is a glorious testament to his skills as a vocal master. Thankfully, the original version of "Tell It Like It Is," Neville's 1967 R&B standard, is included here alongside his very first charted hit, 1960's "Over You." Neville's smash duet with Linda Ronstadt, "Don't Know Much" (1989), is naturally a standout, but equally impressive are tracks culled from the vocal stylist's four non-Christmas albums for A&M: "Don't Take Away My Heaven," a Louisiana workout of Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell"; the infectious "Angola Bound"; a beautiful reading of the Stylistics' "Betcha By Golly Wow"; and, as a bonus, a brilliant reading of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come," recorded with his brothers for the 1989 "Yellow Moon." An essential collection and a reminder of Neville's undeniable artistry. --David Nathan

SUPER GREAT
Rating: - Angelic Voice, Earthy New Orleans Funk
Aaron Neville, of New Orleans, he of the extraordinary, angelic voice, and the equally extraordinary five decade long career, is still making heavenly sounds today. His first big hit (and still his biggest), 1966's "Tell It Like It Is," reached Number 2 on the national charts. The strain of trying to distribute it bankrupted his tiny Louisiana label, Par Lo. He received his first Grammies, the recording industry's highest honor, for his 1989 duets with Linda Ronstadt. He's gotten 16 Grammy nominations ... Read More
Rating: - Introduce someone to Aaron Neville!!
Since the 80's and 90's I became acquainted with Aaron Neville through music videos, and live performances. I remember "Everybody Plays a Fool", "Don't Take Away My Heaven" and my favorite video performance is "The Grand Tour". That is why I purchased the CD. I love the way he put his touch on this wonderful George Jones hit.
Everything on this CD is a classic example of the many voices and styles that Aaron Neville does. He doesn't need the music, and as they say in music....the voice ... Read More
Rating:  - A little disappointed
I love Aaron Neville, however, I was a little disappointed with this CD because it didn't seem to be as highly stylized as his other works. Mr. Neville has a beautiful voice and he could sing the phone directory and I would enjoy it, it just seemed as though someone had taken something truly amazing and removed just enough of the soul to make it a little less amazing.
