Description of The Neville Brothers & Friends - Tell It Like It Is:
Long one of New Orleans's best bands, the Neville Brothers are joined by a host of topnotch guests for some frequently inspired pairings on Tell It Like It Is, an hourlong show recorded in their hometown in 1989. Art, Charles, Cyril, and Aaron Neville are all terrific musicians (especially the angel-voiced Aaron, whose rendition of the classic title tune never fails to thrill). Add to that the presence of keyboard great Herbie Hancock as musical director, plus appearances by John Hiatt, Bonnie Raitt (who duets with Aaron's son Ivan Neville, then sticks around to back up the other guests, including Gregg Allman on "Midnight Rider"), Daniel Lanois, Jimmy Buffett, Buckwheat Zydeco, and the Dixie Cups, and you've got a pretty fine party going. It's not all scintillating; actor Dennis Quaid (whose golden locks recall his performance as Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire, filmed that same year) is fine but hardly on a par with the others, while Ed Bradley's mercifully brief turn at the mike proves that as a singer, he makes a great newsman. Still, there's enough here to more than satisfy fans of superior contemporary New Orleans music. --Sam Graham

I love the Neville Brothers!

2009-03-18 - This is a very good DVD. Lots of mixed music including older songs and artists, and of course the famous Neville Brothers at their best.
Nevilles!!!
2008-10-15 - This is a must for all Neville fans and fans of the many styles of music associated with New Orleans and Louisiana. From funk to zydeco, this DVD will make one second line to the internet to book tickets to Jazz Fest and a B & B near Tips! I have been a fan of the Neville family for over 20 years and this DVD is just a taste of what you will witness in person. They're the best!
Very Disappointed 
2007-02-19 - The only song I enjoyed was "Tell It Like It is". I did enjoy seeing Ed Bradley on stage. I still miss not seeing him on 60 Minutes.
