Treacherous Too! (1991)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: The Neville Brothers; Genre: World

With 35 years of music-making to draw on, the Neville Brothers — peerless purveyors of New Orleans soul and funk — have no trouble filling this worthy adjunct to 1986's Treacherous, an anthology that covers the group's hits and summarizes their career. As infectious and handsome as the handful of tracks drawn from recent Nevilles albums are, the treasures of Treacherous Too! are Aaron's and Art's solo singles from the '50s and '60s, warm and catchy rhythm-and-roots tunes that could only arise from New Orleans' rich culture.
