	Kenny Neal : A Tribute to Slim Harpo and Raful Neal - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Kenny Neal began the project that led to this record in 2002, and it was originally intended to be a tribute to the music of Slim Harpo, whose own languid, atmospheric recordings are the very definition of swamp blues.
		With Slim's good friend (and Kenny Neal's father) Raful Neal handling most of the vocals, and, of course, the harmonica work, and with some of the members of Harpo's band also on-board, ten tracks were recorded before the elder Neal was diagnosed with bone cancer.
		Raful Neal died on September 1, 2004, and when Kenny Neal eventually returned to the project tapes, the album had turned into a tribute to Raful.

		Kenny Neal is also another one of those masters at easily gaining rapport with his audience.
		It is easy to see why Kenny Neal has such a loyal and growing fan base and why the critics have hailed him as one of the best young bluesmen capable of carrying on the blues torch.

		Bio: The future of Baton Rouge swamp blues lies squarely in multi-instrumentalist Kenny Neal's capable hands -- the second-generation southern Louisiana bluesman is entirely cognizant of the region's venerable blues tradition and imaginative enough to steer it in fresh directions, as his albums for Alligator confirm.
		At age 13, Neal was playing in his father's band, and he picked up a bass at 17 for Buddy Guy.
		Neal's sizzling guitar work, sturdy harp, and gravelly, aged-beyond-his-years vocals have served him well ever since.

		Kenny, who is the head of an extended blues family from Baton Rouge, has enlisted the help of his brother Darnell for the bass and his brother Fredrick for piano chores.
		One thing Kenny does differently on this disc is use a couple of women, Anne Donahue and the popular Christine Ohlman, as backup singers on three of the tracks.
		Kenny has that star quality about himself that just comes so naturally, "Blues Fallin’ Down Like Rain" is a really good record but not the masterpiece that Kenny Neal is capable of.

		The "Kenny Neal" bus was parked across the street from the club.
		By this time I was seeing that the Kenny Neal tunes I'd heard on the radio hadn't even come close to covering all that he can do.
		Kenny uses a Roland JC-120 jazz chorus amp and he can be as clean as he wants or as singingly lyrical as can be.

	Kenny Neal::::Intrepid Artists International, Inc
		Not only is Kenny a devout disciple and aficionado of Harpo, but he’s also a fan of his own father, Raful Neal, an accomplished harpist who sported a successful career of his own and proved to be an archetype for his child prodigy.
		Kenny’s next career move called for him to leave the swamplands of the Delta for the fresh waters of Toronto.
		The result of this marriage between artist and label was a successful series of releases that separated Kenny Neal from the general cacophony of productions and distinguished him as one of the premier blues artists of the day.

	Kenny Neal - Biography - AOL Music
		The future of Baton Rouge swamp blues lies squarely in multi-instrumentalist Kenny Neal's capable hands -- the second-generation southern Louisiana bluesman is entirely cognizant of the region's venerable blues tradition and imaginative enough to steer it in fresh directions, as his albums for Alligator confirm.
		His dad, harpist Raful Neal, was a Baton Rouge blues mainstay whose pals included Buddy Guy and Slim Harpo (the latter handed three-year-old Kenny an old harp one day as a toy, and that was it).
		In 1987, Neal cut his debut LP for Florida producer Bob Greenlee -- a stunningly updated swamp feast initially marketed on King Snake Records as Bio on the Bayou.

		If you were fortunate enough to catch the Kenny Neal Band's blistering BRAVO channel performance recently, you know that this young man may well be the Great Black Hope for whom blues preservationists have been praying.
		Five years ago, Neal landed the lead role in a revival of Mule Bone, a collaborative effort between writers Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston during the Harlem Renaissance.
		Neal's father, Raful, once led a band featuring Buddy Guy on guitar, and pop's first recording came out a year after Kenny was born.

	Independent Weekly: Music: Spotlight: Kenny Neal
		Kenny picked up on his dad's style of harp playing, learning to play several other instruments he found lying around the house as well.
		One version of the story is that Harpo stuck a harp in Neal's mouth instead of a pacifier to quiet him when he was crying, but Neal says the truth is a bit darker.
		Although Neal's voice can be a bit raspy at times, once he gets warmed up he sings like Otis doing Sam Cooke--warm but with enough character in it to let you know he's had some rough spots in his lifetime.

		The smile on Kenny Neal's face on his latest two albums suggests that he is pretty pleased with the results.
		Neal's gritty vocals are still there, but this time they are balanced by those of Andrea Re.

		With his movie star good looks and his dazzling smile, Kenny Neal may be the most charismatic bluesman of his generation.
		Kenny gives the guitar a workout on a cleverly titled instrumental called "Neal And Pray." The classic song "Little Brother (Make A Way)" is especially poignant coming from big brother Kenny.
		Kenny Neal really is the complete package, and he has that little intangible thing going for him as well.

		A soulful (if not particularly memorable) singer, a fine guitarist and a sturdy harmonica player, Raful Neal's son Kenny has had five albums issued by Alligator Records, and this "Deluxe Edition" gathers almost all the highlights from the first four.
		Kenny Neal's music is more polished than, say, "classic" blues greats like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf or John Lee Hooker, but songs like the slow burner "That Knife Don't Cut No More" and the thumping "Howlin' At The Moon" pack quite a punch.
		A few songs are not all that memorable, and the first half of the album is generally the best, but this is still a really enjoyable contemporary blues record with lots of excellent, well-arranged songs.

		On the night I saw Kenny's show he had his brothers Darnell (Bass) and Frederick (keyboards) playing in his band, and both were very accomplished.

		Unlike Neal's previous albums it relies very heavily on covers...only two of these twelve songs are written or co-written by Kenny Neal himself, and that worries me a bit.
		Neal's expressive voice is perfect for that song, and his is by far the best and grittiest version ever recorded.
		If you're new to Raful Neal's son Kenny, I'd start with his best Alligator album, "Hoodoo Moon", but fans will definitely want this one in their collection as well.
