This 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.

I wasn't familiar with Aaron Neville's music until I heard him sing "Louisiana 1927" on TV after hurricane Katrina and during the flooding. That song truly touched my heart. I had to have it. I found it on Amazon and liked the other song samples too, so I purchased it. When I heard the whole CD, he went from "never heard of him" to "all time favorite" instantly. His wonderful, unmistakable voice is addicting. I love all the songs on the CD, but I'm partial to "Don't Take Away My Heaven", "Warm Your Heart", "Louisiana 1927", and "To Make Me Who I Am", as well as the livelier "Over You" "Angola Bound" and "Use Me".The last song is the very beautiful "Don't Know Much" which he sings with Linda Ronstadt; it's a captivating blend of their two very distinctive voices.

This is my first Aaron Neville CD and it does not disappoint at all--a lovely instrument he has with his voice--an American original. I saw him live at The Birchmere theatre in Northern Virginia not too long ago and his voice was almost drowned out by his accompyment, however, you hear his wonderful voice so clearly on the CD--I highly recommend it to fans.

i would rather listen to Aaron Neville and Carlos Santana than anyone,well Elvis had a great set of pipes also...But now Aaron is my top pick for gospel music also.He is real and all he has to move are his vocal chord's to get my attention.It's that "quiver"thing he does and his high pitched notes that amaze me...I'd love to hear him and Elvis singing gospel together or Aaron singing with Santana playing! But that is a personal dream that won't happen, unless I do some mixin',myself!

As always, Aaron Neville has done it again. The music from this man is awesome. His voice makes you feel exactly what he is singing about.
