He is well known as part of the New Orleans sound of the Neville Brothers. Yet, aside from the 1967 number one R&B hit Tell It Like It Is, few have heard his incredible early solo recordings. Many of the first recordings of Neville, in the early and mid-60s, were arranged, produced, and often written by the brilliant Allen Toussaint — another talent only later being really appreciated. Most of these sides were cut for the Minit and, later, Parlo labels. Songs like She Took You for a Ride and You Think Youre So Smart on Parlo are masterpieces. While his more recent work, including that with Linda Ronstadt, makes for pleasant listening, it lacks the sheer persuasion of his early songs. Neville has re-recorded his early work often, and it is important to hear the originals. The early sides are just waiting to be heard. Neville has ventured more into other waters besides R&B. 1993s The Grand Tour included a remake of a George Jones song that got Neville a little country attention, and he announced plans in 1994 to do a complete country album. He was also one of several R&B artists who teamed with country stars for the Rhythm Country and Blues session. Neville was paired with Trisha Yearwood, and the duo also performed together in a benefit concert for the LP held in Los Angeles in April 1994. The LP made history by debuting in the Top Ten on the pop, R&B, and country charts. Tattooed Heart appeared in 1995 and To Make Me Who I Am in 1997 on A&M Records. Increasingly Neville was drawn to his gospel roots, and the influence of the genre shows in his solo projects. Devotion and Believe were released in 2000 and 2003 respectively by Tellit Records. Nature Boy: The Standards Album came out on Verve in 2002 and the holiday album Christmas Prayer was issued by EMI Gospel in 2005. Neville kicked off the next year by singing the national anthem at Superbowl XL, followed by the release of Mojo Soul, a collection of some of his singles from the late-60s and early-70s with producers Marshall Sehorn and Alain Toussaint, and Bring It on Home... The Soul Classics, which featured guests Chaka Khan and Mavis Staples, among others.
