DESCRIPTION:
In their own words, the Neville Brothers - the first family of New Orleans music -tell their amazing story, from hard times to their phenomenal Grammy-winning success today. In The Brothers, each Neville alternates telling his story, from their childhood in segregated New Orleans to a growing involvement in crime and drugs to the eventual decision, in the mid-seventies, to start performing and recording together.
