With a resume as impressive as anyone in music (The Meters, Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Taj Mahal, on and on), Cyril Neville continues to make insanely serious sounds. Neville on percussion, with gtr, bass, keys, drums. It’s funky, it’s bluesy, it’s soulful, it’s rockin. And it’s all killer. Not to be missed. No FCC’s.
