Neville transcends genres in this eclectic mix of country (George Jones's "The Grand Tour"), pop ("I Owe You One," "Betcha By Golly Wow"), soul "Ain't No Way"), Dylan ("Don't Fall Apart on ME Tonight") and anthemic ballads ("Song of Bernadette"). It is on the latter, a haunting duet with Linda Ronstadt, that both singers reveal their mastery of lyric interpretation. Not a bummer on the album.

I defy you to find a more beautiful duet than Aaron & Linda's Song Of Bernadette, this hauntingly beautiful ballad has been around for quite a while now, but it is only through these magnificent vocalists that it has become a musical masterpiece. I think it's about time a compilation CD of their duets was made available.

This is my favorite Aaron Neville tape. Every song is a gem. Aaron's voice is truly a gift from above.

This is a surprise for an ex-con. Aaron has all the marks of a bad boy (including the one on his forehead) but when he opens his mouth, a heavenly sound comes out. "Don't Take Away My Heaven" is easily the best song on the album. It is truly heartwarming to hear a former criminal croon out the song-prayer of "The Lord's Prayer". "The Bells" is very pretty, and so is "I Owe You One", and "My Brother, My Brother". Classic Aaron. Bottom Line: INSPIRING, UPLIFTING, BEAUTIFUL.

O.K. it's alright to call me finicky when it comes to music, because I am. So my first thoughts upon hearing the first two songs on this CD were the dreaded over-produced feeling that I first experienced. Thankfully things started to go uphill from the third song onward, giving Aaron, and us the chance to hear the splendid range, and tone of his wonderful voice. From Soul, Zydeco, Jazz, Golden Oldies, and a spine chilling duet with Linda Ronstadt this CD rocks. I think his rendition of the beautiful song; "These Foolish Things" is the best I've ever heard. So turn down the lights, and let the music carry you away...

If you like Aaron Neville, you should buy this CD. It is terrific. He has the voice of an Angel, and does not disappoint for a second!!!

NOT REALLY A HUGE FAN OF AARON NEVILLE..HOWEVER..THIS ONE WAS WORTH GETTING BECAUSE IT HAS SEVERAL TRACKS SUCH AS "BROTHER MY BROTHER", THE BELLS,ETC..DONE IN A WAY THAT ONLY AARON NEVILLE CAN DO..JUST FUNKY AND BLUESY ENOUGH TO BE WORTH THE PURCHASE..WOULD RECOMMEND AS A "CHANGE OF PACE" ITEM!

Am very satisfied with my purchase. Love this man's voice and always enjoy his music whatever the genre. Service and delivery is always 100% with Amazon.com.

I bought this cd for my wife .. she says this is the very best of Arron Neville ... must be because this is the 2nd one of these she has wanted .. she worn the other one out..
