Neville Brothers - Fiyo on the Bayou .gif) By Marc Greilsamer
The Neville Brothers, as a working unit, emerged as a result of 1976's
magnificent Wild Tchoupitoulas project. On that album, the Brothers
and their Meters cohorts backed a group of tribal chiefs (including their
uncle "Big Chief Jolly") singing traditional Mardi Gras
"war songs" and marches. The Nevilles' 1978 debut left behind
their New Orleans foundation and suffered because of it. However, 1981's Fiyo
represents the pinnacle of the Neville collective, a percolating mix of
R&B, soul, funk, and Caribbean rhythms that celebrates their Crescent
City heritage. The standards, of course, are entrusted to Aaron's heavenly
pipes, but it's the New Orleans anthems that would come to define both the
band and the city.
