Warm Your Heart

I love every genre of music... from rock, classic, rap, country.... and this is my all time favorite CD by my all time favorite singer. Aaron Neville's voice is an instrument in itself, and the diverse lyrics and selections on this CD are amazing. I especially love Aaron's nod to his Catholic roots in the most beautiful version of "Ava Maria" on the planet. He is a divine storyteller, and Louisiana 1927 and Angola Bound are spellbinding tales of hurricanes and hard times. "I Bid You Goodnight"....(I loved you, but Jesus loves you best) is both heart wrenching and comforting at the same time. My personal favorite - "Feels like Rain" is THE MOST amazing, romantic song ever written. I highly recommend this CD. 10 stars. My 80 year old parent's love it too.

There are very few albums that you can put in your CD/Spotify/MP3 player, and don't need to skip any tracks. This is one of those rare occurences. It all begins with a great cover of Randy Newman's, "Louisiana 1927", goes directly into the song that put him on the musical map, "Everybody Plays the Fool", and rounds out one of the best first 3-song cycles with John Hiatt's, "Feels Like Rain". "Somewhere, Somebody" is a yearning song with a mid to upbeat tempo; "Don't Go Please Stay" gives Aaron a chance to let his angelic voice take front stage; "With You in Mind" and "That's the Way She Loves" are - in my opinion - the weakest tracks but not worth lifting the remote to skip track. "Angola Bound" unites Aaron and his brothers for a great song about a bad subject; "Close Your Eyes" is a good duet with Linda Ronstadt; "La Vie Dansante" is a rhythmic sing-a-long cover of Jimmy Buffet. The last three songs actually outdo all the rest: "Warm Your Heart" has a distinctly New Orleans flare to it; "I Bid You Goodnight" is an uplifting piece of gospel music and "Ave Maria" shows Aaron could just about become an opera man. Absolutely fantastic, give it a spin on your chosen medium of music playing; no disappointment to be found.

My Nana loves this cd!

Totally beautiful cd but extremely poor quality for volume. Must be close to player to hear well. But Aaron as usual is awesome. Great choice of songs of the past. Would buy again. Gentle calming songs.

I was checking out a few albums by Aaron Neville because I was buying some CDs in preparation for Christmas. My brother likes him. I bought The Grand Tour and Warm Your Heart. I recommend both. On this disc, there are a few songs that wouldn't be my choices, but overall, this CD as well as The Grand Tour are good albums.

Most melodious on our planet? Not an exaggeration by much. Of course, I haven’t checked every other mellow singer. Aaron Neville’s voice is a miracle. I have been enjoying this disc for many years and almost all the songs on this disc are favorites. Reasonably priced disk, too.

This album is timeless masterpieces.

If someone was looking to "try out" a Neville CD or if you are looking for a gift, this would be the CD to get. I purchased several of his and this is my favorite. It has "Louisiana 1927" on it - very important! This is what he sang for the Katrina benefit and what a performance! Written by Randy Newman (did not know that) and just a classic. Such a unique voice. I love to hear him do Gospel or Christmas songs and - well, anything actually. Listening to his stuff makes me want to order that King Cake early!

De la très bonne musique, pour ceux qui apprécient l'artiste. Aucune mauvaise critique à formuler. Juste profiter de cette voix très spéciale

Good CD

良い声。 好き。 晴れた秋くらいに、コーヒー飲みながらゆっくり聴きたい。

Sehr gut 👍

Cercavo questo disco, per risentirlo, dopo anni e anni (quasi trenta), ma non l’ho più trovato. Prestato, regalato? Boh… L’ho subito ricomprato, perché Warm Your Heart era (ed è) un lavoro stupendo, costruito con gusto e delicatezza attorno alla voce particolare e fortemente evocativa di Aaron Neville. Ero arrivato a questo, perché ero un cultore dei Neville Brothers, soprattutto quelli di Yellow Moon e Brother’s Keeper. Prodotto da un’altra voce eccellente, Linda Ronstadt, e da George Massenburg, l’album presenta un’originale di Aaron e Charles Neville (Angola Bound) e 12 notevolissime covers, firmate Randy Newman, John Hiatt, Burt Bacharach, Allen Toussaint, Jimmy Buffett, tra gli altri. C’è anche il ripescaggio del traditional I Bid You Goodnight, patrimonio anche di Grateful Dead e Incredible String Band. A chiudere, l’Ave Maria, arrangiata dalla Ronstadt. Grande partecipazione di musicisti e sezioni: dal Grace Episcopal Choir, alla Skywalker Symphony Orchestra, una sezione fiati a cinque e poi gli accompagnatori veri e propri, tra i quali segnalo Don Grolnick, Russell Kunkel, David Lindley, Ry Cooder, Dean Parks, Larry Carlton, la Ronstadt, Dr. John, Jim Keltner, sempre fra gli altri. Si è, insomma, spostato un piccolo esercito per onorare questa forza vocale ed interpretativa. L’album sarebbe stato perfetto anche per Van Morrison, perché è Soul allo stato puro. Come suona oggi, su un buon impianto Hi-Fi? Qui devo fare una considerazione, quasi curiosa: il CD è siglato, con onore, DDD. E’ del 1991, e DDD era l’acronimo del puro suono digitale. E lo mettevano con orgoglio! Oggi, non dico che ci si vergogni, ma quasi, perché si tende a indicare il contrario: “Pure Analogic Record”, niente a che vedere col suono freddo digitale. Ahahah, cambiano i tempi e si vanno a riscoprire le fantastiche registrazioni analogiche. Comunque, il disco suona bene. Non ho potuto sentirlo su vinile (e non so neppure se è uscito su vinile), ma il sound è curato e non ne resterete assolutamente delusi. Un disco magnifico, per una voce magnifica.
