rom his first million-selling hit, 1967’s “Tell It Like It Is,” to his latest album, Apache, Aaron Neville’s sweet-as-honey voice has been a bedroom mainstay for generations. Now that his funky Neville Brothers band is over, the man is free to follow his muse, which led him to record 2013’s Don Was-produced set of doo-wop covers, My True Story. Neville co-wrote the songs on his subsequent albums, and released them via Tell It Records. His new music sets his beautifully soulful sound in grittier surroundings, backed by a rugged band that includes members of the Dap-Kings and production by Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno.
