My True Story

Aaron Neville

A master of the falsetto revisits the doo-wop hits of his youth. Warm, analog arrangements that feel like a soft light in a dark room.

January 22, 2013 · Blue Note

A gentle, sun-drenched nostalgia that feels both deeply personal and universally welcoming.

Moments Worth Listening For
The effortless transition into a high-register flutter during the opening of My True Story.
The interplay between the gritty rhythm guitar and the angelic lead vocal on Money Honey.
The way the backing harmonies swell to support the delicate falsetto on the medley finale.
