The legendary Neville Brothers are joined by an extraordinary group of musical guests for an exciting, once in a lifetime musical event filmed live at the famed Storyville Jazz Hall in New Orleans. Musical guests include Gregg Allmann, Ed Bradley, Jimmy Buffett, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Dixie Cups, Herbie Hancock, John Hiatt, Daniel Lanois, Ivan Neville, Dennis Quaid, Bonnie Raitt, Buckwheat Zydeco.

Long one of New Orleans's best bands, the Neville Brothers are joined by a host of topnotch guests for some frequently inspired pairings on Tell It Like It Is, an hourlong show recorded in their hometown in 1989. Art, Charles, Cyril, and Aaron Neville are all terrific musicians (especially the angel-voiced Aaron, whose rendition of the classic title tune never fails to thrill). Add to that the presence of keyboard great Herbie Hancock as musical director, plus appearances by John Hiatt, Bonnie Raitt (who duets with Aaron's son Ivan Neville, then sticks around to back up the other guests, including Gregg Allman on "Midnight Rider"), Daniel Lanois, Jimmy Buffett, Buckwheat Zydeco, and the Dixie Cups, and you've got a pretty fine party going. It's not all scintillating; actor Dennis Quaid (whose golden locks recall his performance as Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire, filmed that same year) is fine but hardly on a par with the others, while Ed Bradley's mercifully brief turn at the mike proves that as a singer, he makes a great newsman. Still, there's enough here to more than satisfy fans of superior contemporary New Orleans music.
