Format: Brother's Keeper
Description
Incorporating the sounds of their city and their reverence for it's history, the legendary New Orleans band of brothers play and sing almost in tribute to the home that shaped them. The electrifying boogie of "Brother Jake" and the harrowing spoken-word protest song "Sons and Daughters" demonstrates the family's formidable gift for storytelling. This 1990 album also includes the duet with Linda Ronstadt 'Fearless'.

It's the Saturday of the week of Hurricane Katrina. I was listening to the community radio station in Boulder/Denver last night, KGNU.org. And I heard the most stunning song, that I came to learn was "Sons and Daughters" from "Brother's Keeper." I came to this site, and appreciated what the reviewer Tyler from Denver said about the song, how it's an "indictment of indifference to the rifts in society that could one day blow it apart." It appears that day has arrived. Thankfully we have artists like the Neville Brothers to help us through. I'm looking forward to hearing this entire CD.

As the title suggests, "Brother's Keeper" mixes social awareness and messages of hope and tolerance with the Neville Brothers' usual eclectic collection of grooves. It's music that you can dance and sing to, but it also makes you aware that there's a world out there that isn't always pretty. And it urges the listener to get involved in that world. The best example of socially aware funk is "Brother Jake," which laments the death of a character claimed by the streets. It rocks powerfully, with a gospel tinge, but there's nothing mindless about it. It's a strong portrait of a tough world that takes lives. "Sons and Daughters" tiptoes toward rap. Charles Neville's powerful oration warns us not to forsake the young people, our lifeblood, whom he says are "being led to the slaughter." It's an indictment of indifference to the rifts in society that could one day blow it apart. At the end it strays from the spoken word, mixing in a spare, powerful guitar and Charles' voice rising toward song with the words, "You can't stop/running water/You can't hide/the fire that burns inside..." There's also balladry that gives Aaron Neville a chance to display his unique sense of soul and his wonderful falsetto, in "Fearless." "Jah" delivers a reggae feel, and the title cut blends another testimony by Charles with the biblical admonition to "be my brother's keeper, though he be strong or weaker. I got to lend a helping hand." For straight-ahead gospel, there's "Steer Me Right," which shows off the band's on-the-money harmonies and straight-from-the-gut emotion. Listening to a Neville Brothers release is like dropping by on a warm Friday evening to hang out with a great group of friends who are never boring and who have a million ways to deliver a point. This is a neglected release, but it shouldn't be. Pick it up and enjoy a few grooves packed with a message.

Brother's Keeper feels like a continuation of 1989's Yellow Moon. Both albums mix their New Orleans sound with their takes on Dylan, Wray, Cohen and Presley. The majority of both albums though are filled with their own songs which offer a gentle but direct protest which still rings true 35 years later. These are songs that I still find powerful yet joyous. And those voices..... Can't be beat!

In terms of music that came out following the 1980's,this is quite different from what I could possibly have imagined. Known about this for a long time. Picked it up same day,same format and same price as I did the Neville's Fiyo on the Bayou. Decided as I often do to listen to the two together. I expected both albums to be excellent and interesting. And that they both are. But there's something on this particular album that is somewhat hard to put into words. It's a sort of flavor you get from that type of 1970's funk that stretched conceptually out beyond merely the latest dance or whatever. In terms of cultural,moral and spiritual understanding this album makes no apologies in showcasing the Neville's outlook on all of that both lyrically and musically all at once. It's nothing like their late 70's,early 80's sound at all. They evolved into something quite different. Matter of fact,a good deal of these songs have a strong blues/country-soul vibe to them from "Steer Me Right",the Linda Ronstadt duet of "Fearless","Fallin' Rain" and "Witness" actually have more a potent combination that is closer to a country/soul/blues fusion somewhere around the middle since there's a lot of gospel overtones in their too. "Brother Jake" isn't exactly a heartwarming tale but at the same time it's one of my favorites here and showcases them modernizing their funk again. Only it's very much late 80's sounding. "River Of Life" and "Mystery Train" are very funk oriented but delve into the blues end of it a bit further,again telling some captivating stories that I won't spoil for anyone here. "Sons And Daughters" is goes right back to the West Indian style percussive rhythms of Congo Square,with Charles Neville delivering a spoken word lyric to the effect of politics being used as a force to spiritually bankrupt human kind to the point where there's only "free speech unless you say too much". "Jah Love" again points to the Afro Caribbean spirituality of the New Orleans culture,lyrically and musically while the title song is contemplates the idea of brotherhood both literally and figuratively over some major chorded Crescent City type funk. The album ends with Aaron's "Bird On A Wire",the most sleek and 1990's style track on this album with it's (then) fully contemporary album. Even though one might not think of it in precisely these terms,this is a funk album. Not generationally perhaps or in terms of it's relation to the funk era of the 70's. But in terms of how it presents itself stylistically and rhythmically,especially on the lightly percussive opener "Brother Blood" there's a very diverse range of rhythms,grooves and messages here that somehow all coalesce into itself. Of course when one discuss New Orleans,funk of some sort or another is bound to come into the equation sooner or later since that is a very rhythmically diverse city in more ways than one. And in a nutshell I suppose that's the most important thing this particular album reflects.
