Having earned effusive critical praise and a long-running top 20 Billboard hit in 1998 with his Atlantic Records debut, In the World: From Natchez to New York, the New York City-based Olu Dara now brews his trademark blend of Delta Blues, Jazz, Afro-Beat and Caribbean influences, this time around throwing in a heavy dose of funk into the mix. Throughout the album, his warm, natural voice--reflective of his Natchez, Mississippi birth place--gives life to his imagery-filled lyrical stories, from the cinema celebration of "Bell and Ponce (at the Movie Show)" to his melancholy cover of the traditional Bahamian sailor's lament, "Out on the Rolling Sea." Songs: Massamba, Neighborhoods, Herbman, Strange Things Happen Everyday, Bell and Ponce (at the Movie Show), I See the Light, Out on the Rolling Sea, Bluebird, Used to Be (with Cassandra Wilson), Red Ant (Nature), Tree Blues, In the World.

Listener Reviews & Comments
Indeed Neighborhoods picks up right where Natchez left off but on first listen I was disappointed. It took three complete playings for me to be converted into a believer. Now, I'm asking "Who shot John-man" and looking for alabama cornbread to dip in my georgia buttermilk! This album lacks the raw trumpet power so beautiful in the first album in favor a more polished, production oriented, modern blues sound. But the extremely clever lyrics and african-caribbean-Natchez-New york eclecticism will literally send you reeling. Buy them both and by all means...see a live show.
