Louisiana treat!
I have had this album for years, always reminds me of the good times in New Orleans. The printed history inside the case is quite comprehensive and enjoyable, really brings to life each brother and the songs. I have always loved the Nevilles and love to share with others. Recently bought another copy to take to a musician friend of mine in England, hope he enjoys it as much as I always have. I think it makes a great gift representative of our fun state...laisse les bon temps roulez!

Excellent collection - almost
I lost my cassette copy about 10 years ago and was so glad to pick this copy up on Amazon. The BIG difference between this and the original is it lacks the original recording of "Tell It Like It Is", instead dropping a live version on disk two. Talk about treachery! Otherwise, a perfect collection for anyone who needs a primer on the The Neville Brothers and why they're considered one of the most talented musical families in the history of modern music.

Superb collection showing both depth and breadth of Nevilles
An incredible collection spanning the entire recorded career of the Neville Brothers, from The Hawketts' (featuring Art Neville) first release in 1954 through live tracks recorded in the mid-80's. The range of styles is impressive, including late 50's New Orleans Rock 'n' Roll, sentimental ballads, early 70's funk, Mardi Gras band music, and more heavily produced sounds of the 80's.The compositions include a huge number of gems from the Allen Toussaint catalogue (some credited to Toussaint, some to "Naomi Neville"), tracks from the individual Nevilles (including Aaron's jail-penned "Every Day" and Cyril's classic "Brother John"), as well as songs by Lieber/Stoller, John Hiatt and others. The big hit single with a bullet ("Tell It Like It Is") is included in an excellent live version.The big revelation to me was hearing Aaron Neville's incredible voice singing so many different styles of music. Besides the ballads that I was already familiar with, Aaron proves himself able to handle more upbeat pieces handily.Overall a great collection of great songs from a great band. The only thing that's probably better is to get all the original singles and LP's.
