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.

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 [...]
