My true story

"The object of 'My True Story' was clearly not to reproduce the originals - the band are too knowing and nuanced for a 1950s R&B outfit, Neville's vocals too engrained by experience - but the album captures the spirit that first drew them and countless others to the flame".

"There's a faint mustiness to some of the more upbeat arrangements, but on slow jams like the title track (a falsetto-streaked 1961 gem by the Jive Five) and Curtis Mayfield's "Gypsy Woman," Neville suspends time in vocal amber, a true soul master at work".

"Hans nye album, My True Story - som i øvrigt er produceret af Keith Richards, albummets gennemgående guitarist - er ingen undtagelse. Med sin helt særegent lyse vokal fremfører Aaron Neville et drævende sentimentalt materiale, der emmer af solvarme sydstater".

"The solid backing band knows the songs, and the background vocalists sound spot-on, but there's very little fun here, almost none of the loose-limbed street-corner feel that makes the form such a pleasure".
