BRING IT ON HOME...THE SOUL CLASSICS

After a tragedy as epic as Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, Gulf Coast residents must crave the familiar, comfortable, and hopeful. Aaron Neville--himself a born and bred New Orleans resident for six decades--found his own coping method by singing soul classics. Here, his trademark vocal subtlety brings new heartbreak, emotionality, and tenderness to these tried-and-true soul hits. The album includes duets with Mavis Staples, Chaka Kahn, and his brother Art Neville.
