Aaron Neville: My True Story
Blue Note
Great concept, even better execution. For his Blue Note Records debut, the stalwart New Orleans vocalist reaches back to his youth to deliver a dozen covers of doo-wop and primal R&B hits—co-produced, no less, by new label head Don Was and Keith Richards. It’s obvious from the first notes of “Money Honey”—one of four tunes on the album originally by the Drifters (“Under the Boardwalk” is another)—that the entire team is having a blast. Neville’s voice lends itself particularly well to the familiar (The Ronettes’ “Be My Baby,” Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions’
“Gypsy Woman”) and lesser known (The Clovers’ “Ting A Ling,” The Jive Five’s title track) classics, and to hear that instantly recognizable warble interact with Richards’ pointed licks is a real treat in itself.
