Review

Down Beat (p.74) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "Politics have long been part of the group's agenda, but it's impressive to hear a one-time party band flip the script and throw punches....Topical tunes abound..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.60) - Ranked #8 in Mojo's "Top Ten Urban Albums Of 2005."

Recording information: Neville Neville Land Studios, New Orleans, Louisiana.

One of the first families of funk, the Neville Brothers are the musical royal family of New Orleans. While it doesn't feature aspects of the sound that made albums like FIYO ON THE BAYOU so distinctly "N'Awlinz," 2004's WALKIN' IN THE SHADOW OF LIFE may well be the hardest funk the brothers have ever put on record. There are echoes of P-Funk on "Can't Stop the Funk," "Carry the Torch," and the title track, right down to the snare hits, the snapping bass, Charles's laid-back Maceo Parker-inspired sax, and Ivan's Bernie Worrell-influenced keyboards.

Similarly, the Neville Brothers' jazzed-up take on "Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)" is a standout Temptations update.

Art's deeply funky voice played against Aaron's angel-gone-wrong tenor might be one of contemporary music's most successful and satisfying juxtapositions, probably at its best on the absolutely gorgeous song "Brothers." On one level, WALKIN' unfolds like a concept album, a song cycle that starts with the gray areas of the title track, works its way through the power of music, the church, the street, the family, and back to the church, with a wonderful version of the Melodians' reggae classic "Rivers of Babylon."
