Editorial Review:
Rooted in the fertile soil of rhythm-and-blues’ rich past, Bring It On Home…The Soul Classics, is a landmark work by Aaron Neville. This platinum recording artist and renowned vocalist has created an album of his interpretations of 13 universally loved soul classics, including Otis Redding's "(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay," Sam Cooke’s "You Send Me" and Ben E. King’s "Stand By Me." The album also features special guests Chaka Khan, Chris Botti, Mavis Staples, David Sanborn and Art Neville.
Description of Bring It on Home-the Soul Classics:
Approach Aaron Neville's Bring it on Home ... the Soul Classics with anything but an open heart and you've missed the point. This is a serious CD, at once mournful, humble, and joyous, with no shortage of moments that recall the terribleness of Hurricane Katrina. One way of processing it is as a cataloging of classic songs that helped Neville's fellow New Orleanians soldier through: opener "Rainy Night in Georgia" with jazzman Chris Botti wrings beauty from soaking-wet despair, "Stand By Me" turns its heel on pleading in favor of promise-making, and "People Get Ready," with David Sanborn and brother Art, is a chill-sending reminder of how unity and perseverance can trump tragedy. Viewed from another lens, Soul Classics is Neville's attempt at climbing aboard the late-career, classic-covers bandwagon while weaving his bayou-soul heritage into the picture. The trouble with that theory, though, is that it feels like so much more. His voice flutters alongside Mavis Staple's on "Respect Yourself" with completely uncontrived tenderness, and Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" becomes a meditation on stillness and ease that befits a boulder-sized lump in the throat. A tossed-together concept album this is not; a reflection of a soul man gifted with the ability to spin epic, unyielding sorrow into grace is more like it. --Tammy La Gorce

Good CD
2009-02-24 - Good CD. This is actually my 1st Aaron Neville CD and now I am going backwards to purchase others. This is a CD I leave in the CD player in my car at all times. I take long drives and his voice soothes me. Love you, Aaron.
True Soul
2008-05-25 - Nothing beats the voice of Aaron Neville, These songs are absolute classics and Aaron has made them his own. This album just lifts you off your chair.
Aaron, not your best 
2008-01-22 - Great songs, but the sound isn't. I would ask who produced this recording. The song choices are good, but the recording just didn't
live up to what we know Arron can do.
