IVAN NEVILLE レコード& CD

Review: Originally released in 1979 as a B-side to The Neville Brother's "Sweet Honey Dipper", "Dance Your Blues Away" saw Ivan go solo for the first time on this sultry modern soul jam. Laced with a plucky bass and just the right smattering of sleaze, it set the foundations for Ivan's extensive solo career. It also provides the perfect groove tools for The Mighty Zaf to work his editor craft and beef up the vibe with subtlety. Keep on dancing!

Review: New Orleans music legend Ivan Neville shows why with a first new album Touch My Soul in some two decades. This fresh solo outing on the Mascot label and The Funk Garage is tender and filled with joy from the man who has been known for ferocious funk in the past and gigs with the likes of Keith Richards. It has plenty of distinctive New Orleans sounds and is both a love letter to the Crescent City as well as being a big celebration of the artist's own spiritual and musical journey. "This project is very special to me," says Ivan, and he's not the only one who will think so.
