Art Neville’s memorial service was yesterday, hence this week’s selection. Like most Neville Brothers studio albums Brother’s Keeper is a mixed bag. They were always at their best live but it has many highlights including Brother Jake and last week’s Odds & Sods theme song, River Of Life.
The cover art is brilliant. It’s by Alison Saar an African American artist from Los Angeles who is primarily a sculptor.
The back cover features a photograph by Larry Williams.
Here’s the whole damn album in the YouTube playlist format.
suggested: cover art: “A Salty Dog” by Procol Harum. Classic 70s style, with the leering seamanIn the spirit of R. Crum.
It was one of the first covers I did upon starting this feature: https://first-draft.com/2013/04/15/album-cover-art-wednesday-a-salty-dog/
