The Vinyl Countdown # 187

Daniel Lanois, Flesh and Machine (2014) This is the first Daniel Lanois solo album that I’ve owned on vinyl – but of course his name is all through my record collection. Peter Gabriel, U2, Eno, Emmylou Harris and many others – Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Neville Brothers, Willie Nelson – the list could go […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 532

The Meters, Trick Bag (1976) I love The Meters – they came into my life at the right time; I was already a Neville Brothers fan and worked back to The Meters – only to realise they’d always been there for me, via my mum’s records, some compilations with key tracks and in hip-hop samples. […]

Talking With A Living Legend: The Aaron Neville Interview

Aaron Neville is 76 years old. He is – in so many ways – a giant of American music. Aaron Neville is the owner of a distinctive voice – one that soars, almost implausibly – at least in the sense that it does not look like it comes from its owner. It’s a voice that […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1419

The Neville Brothers, Brother’s Keeper (1990) I grew up with Yellow Moon (as I told you recently). I never really grew up with Brother’s Keeper. I mean, there was that cover of Bird On A Wire, which was everywhere, and I had some interest in the singles, but actually I never heard the whole album. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1420

The Neville Brothers, Yellow Moon (1989) This is the album that introduced me to The Neville Brothers. My parents, shortly after we acquired our first CD player, purchased this – it was, in fact, I’m sure, the very first CD they paid full-price for; $35, something like that. And it was new to the whole […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1999

The Neville Brothers, Fiyo On The Bayou (1981) The first Neville Brothers album I ever heard was Yellow Moon. It was, at the time, like no music I’d ever heard before. (I was about 12). I was late to Fiyo On The Bayou – the Brothers’ second studio album – and arrived at it by way […]
