Sunday’s Jazz Fest headliner Aaron Neville has announced the release of a live DVD– called My True Story, as is his latest album– that will hit stores on May 21. Originally broadcast on PBS, the show was taped at the Brooklyn Bowl in New York last November. The album draws from the vintage doo-wop material featured on the album, and the tracklist is probably a good hint of what he’ll play at Jazz Fest.  All but two of the album’s twelve tracks are included,, plus two classics he regularly sang with the Neville Brothers: “Fever” and Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.” Finally there are two of his own classics: The streetwise Allen Toussaint number “Hercules” and of course his signature song, “Tell It Like It Is.” The DVD has guest appearances from Paul Simon and Joan Osborne, and brother Charles Neville plays sax throughout.

This will be Neville’s first DVD as a solo artist and his only full-length DVD in print. He appears briefly (alongside a stage full of NO luminaries) in the concert film Make It Funky; and during the ’80s the Neville Brothers were saluted (by Jimmy Buffett, Bonnie Raitt, Gregg Allman and others) in the essential live video/DVD Tell It Like It Is-– which alas, has been out of print for many years.
