I saw the “first family of New Orleans” a couple of times at Wolf Trap,
but my favorite set by them was a few years later, at a drizzly evening at
Rockville Hometown Holidays; the band seemed to recognize that much of the
crowd was unlikely to be especially familiar with them, and so they stuck with
their strongest material.
Favorite Neville Brothers songs:
Fire On The Bayou (my #4 all-time favorite song)
Sitting In Limbo
Washable Ink
Fear, Hate, Envy, Jealousy
Brother John / Iko Iko
Yellow Moon
Hey Pocky Way
Congo Square
On The Other Side Of Paradise
Voodoo
Highlights of Art’s earlier work include “Mardi Gras Mambo” (with the
Hawketts), “All These Things” (solo), and “Cissy Strut” (with the Meters).
