Aaron Neville "For The Good Times" The Allen Toussaint Sessions (1968-1977)

The 22 tracks on this disc represent the best recordings he made for Sansu between 1968 and the formation of the Neville Brothers in 1977. The bonus tracks include tracks that were recorded around the same period and 3 newer versions of Neville classics. (Soul Detective)Aaron Neville made his first records for the Minit label from 1960 to 1962 under Allen Toussaint. Following the collapse of the label that had released Neville's 1966 breakout hit "Tell It Like It Is," he reunited with Toussaint for singles released on various labels. The association lasted until the formation of the Neville Brothers band in 1977. This package includes both sides of those records, plus other tracks subsequently released on numerous compilations. Sound quality is good. "Mojo Hannah" and "Hercules" appear in the now common alternate versions. The Meters provide backing on "Mojo Hannah," while the original 45 RPM of "Hercules" is now a much sought-after collector's item.(Record Runner)

Gyro,

Loving the J. Geils Live! Thank you.
And if it doesn't steal your thunder I would gladly send you or post The ongoing Armadillo Killer's if you're swamped with work.

Rexx - Thanks. I will do the Armadillo Killers because I like to tag them my way. I am fussy about that. The uploading only takes one minute. The tagging is the hard part.

If anyone is ever confused about what uploads are mine.....I have a similar style for all of my uploads. How can you confuse them?

Oh that voice, Aaron's voice, especially when Allen is involved. Much gratitude to you for this gem.

Apropos of nothing, I wonder what an Aaron Neville & Art Garfunkel duet would sound like?

Aging Child said...

@nonymous -d: That would be quite the pairing! Imagine what they could do just with "Break Away" and "I Only Have Eyes for You"...

Cheers!

Great thanks for the priceless education I'm getting - a '72 baby catching most of this blog for the first time. My love is Funk and Funk-Soul, so can't wait to get through this Aaron Neville.

Just quietly, I'm wondering what the chance is of a re-up of the All en Tou ssaint Warner Rec ordings from Feb last year? That looked like a goodie!

No prob if not possible. Keep doing the wonderful stuff you're doing - contributors all.

Cheers
Ace
